Maheshwar’s Lesser Known Ravana Legend: The Demon King Was Once Held Captive! 🚩🙏
As India celebrates Dussehra, a lesser known mythological tale from Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh offers a different perspective on Ravana’s story.
According to local folklore, Maheshwar, believed to be the ancient city of Mahishmati, was ruled by the thousand armed King Sahastrabahu Arjuna. Legend says that when Ravana challenged the king, Sahastrabahu defeated him and held him captive.
The Ravaneshwar Mahadev Temple in Maheshwar is associated with this legend. According to local tradition, Ravana worshipped Lord Shiva at the site while seeking release from captivity.
This fascinating tale adds another layer to India’s rich mythological heritage, reminding us that stories surrounding Dussehra vary across regions.
