Raavana + Teertha [ Double Bill]

Ravana, a brilliant scholar, veena maestro, devoted worshipper, and powerful ruler, stands at the twilight of his life, reflecting on key moments that shaped his destiny. He recalls performing sacrificial rites that ironically aided Rama's victory, crafting a veena from his own body to win Lord Shiva’s favor, falling in love with Mandodari, and finally achieving his long-desired confrontation with Rama, sparked by his sister Shurpanaka’s humiliation. Even his abduction of Sita, done with symbolic restraint, resurfaces in his memory.

Haunted by the conflicting voices of his ten heads—some urging surrender, others calling for battle or chastising his actions—Ravana silences them all to heed the voice that truly matters. As he embraces his fate, he steps forward not toward defeat, but toward his own form of victory—Jaya.
