A significant chapter in the Ramayana involves the story of Lord Rama, Lord Hanuman and demon King Ahiravana, who abducted Lord Rama and Lakshman and had been brought back safe and sound by Lord Hanuman. But do you know why ahiravana Kidnapped Lord Rama and Lakshman. Let's get to know this interesting fact in this article. Why ahiravana Kidnapped Ram and Lakshman The legendary tale behind the kidnapping of Lord Rama and Lakshman has a long back story. According to the mythology, it is told that when Mehnad, the mighty son of King Ravan, met his end in the war against Rama, he then realized that he is bound to get defeated.

Consequently, King Ravan went to Ahiravana, the king of the lower world and the leader of the Raksasas who lived in a city in Patal Lok, with an offer, where Ravan promised to abduct Lord Rama and Lakshmana and then he'll get power and he'll win.

Knowing the ability of Ahiravana to carry out a formidable conspiracy, Vibhishana installed an security force around the camp of the Lord. It was to protect Lord Rama from Ahiravana Ahiravana wanted to make sacrifices of the Gods The evil spirit Ahiravana made several attempts but failed in Kidnapping Lord Rama and Lakshman and consequently, he disguises as Vibhisana to do the deed. Then he entered Lord's camp, Kidnapped the two divine figures while they were fast asleep and took them to the lower world where he meant to offer him as sacrifices to his family god which, it was believed, would appease the Goddess and would assure Ravan victory.

Hanuman kills Ahiravana When Hanuman, ardent follower of Lord Rama, learned of this heinous Kidnapping, he set out for the netherworld where, in a heroic act, took his gigantic 5-headed incarnation. For it was under a spell given by Ravana that he had acquired a blessing which allowed him to be killed only if his five simultaneously lit lamps, situated in the five corners of the demon kingdom of Ahiravana, were simultaneously extinguished. Hanumana, realizing this, immediately set about snuffing them out, where, right after he had done it, the mighty Hanuman took on the head of Ravan himself and slain him, returning the God and his brother with no time to spare.

This part of ahiravana kidnapping of Lord Rama and Lakshmana is mentioned in Krittivasi Ramayana in the Yuddha Kanda chapter.
