Reading Notes 13.1 Mahiravana Part A

Hey all!

This week I read Mahiravana: a Magician Outwitted part of the Amar Chitra Kathas


  • Mahiravana, magician, king of the netherworld, son of Ravana (king of Lanka)
  • Summoned by dad to help defeat Ram and his crew after the death of Indrajit and Kumbha
  • Ravana's brother Vibhi spys on Lanka in form of bird and tells Ram of Mahi..Hanu builds fort
  • Mahi plans to kidnap Rama and Laksh and sacrifice them to the goddess Durga
  • Mahi disguises himself as King D to get into the fortress - fail 
    • disguises himself as Bharata - fail
    • disguises himself as Vibhi - success 
    • Rama and Laskh taken before real Vibhi comes in
  • Hanuman on a mission...just in time before Durga puja
  • Hanu gets help from Ma Durga on how to save Rama and Laksh
    • Puja begins and both say they don't know how to bow and ask Mahi to show them...Hanu attacks at that point
    • Mahi defeated...Hanu leads the brothers back through the tunnel
