The entire story of Ramayana is centered on Rama. It seems that it is for this hero that the epic has been created. Living in a society where the Ramas are the role models and Ravanas are the 'Other' and the uncivilized could it be possible to re-tell the story of Ramayana as Ravanayana-a deviation from the narrative point of view? The strength and vigour of the race rakshasa and the character of Ravana is so interesting that it gives immense scope for the readers of Ramayana to interpret the story from a novel perspective. A profound thought of Ramayana unfolds the notion that the story of the text is being centered on Rama rather than Ravana-the anti-hero of the epic. Nevertheless, Ravana can be visualized in a more humanistic vision as a counter-hero rather than an anti-hero. C. N. Sreekantan Nair's Lankalakshmi is one such endeavor to redefine the epic character Ravana to a mythopoeic altitude even in his doom.
