Following a monumental battle between the vanara army and the forces of Lanka, Rama faces the ten-headed king Ravana in a final duel. Despite Rama's skill, Ravana's heads continue to regrow until Rama uses the sacred Arrow of Brahma, guided by the secret of Ravana's vulnerability. The arrow pierces Ravana's navel, ending his reign and leading to the rescue of Sita from the Ashoka Vatika.
