Reading Diary A: Ravana's Defeat - Week 7

Malyavan met Shiva, who had rescued Malyavan's father as a baby.
Sukesa- Malyavan's father

Lightening Tuunge and Thunder Tooth (demon magicians) are killed by Hanuman and Sugriva.
Ravana's experiences continuous failed attempts are defeating Rama from afar. It is finally time for Ravana to face Rama in person.

Ravana tries to disguise himself as Indra - which I found to be cowardly. Rama eventually kills Ravana.
Hanuman tells Sita that Rama defeated Ravana.

Vibhishana is made king of Lanka.
I liked this part of the story, I thought Vibhishana deserved the throne. Especially after he proved his loyalty to Rama.

Agni - the fire god

Sita's innocence is tested when she is asked to step into the fire.
I do not like how Rama felt the need to test Sita's loyalty after she has proved it to him throughout his exile.

It is now time for Rama's exile to come to an end. He is preparing to head back.
Vibhishana gives Rama Pushpaka (a chariot.)

Vibhishana, Hanuman, and Jambavan attend Rama's coronation.
