What happened to Ravana’s body after his defeat by Lord Rama? One intriguing Sri Lankan legend claims that his remains were never cremated. Instead, the story says, Ravana’s body was taken away, preserved and placed inside a large coffin hidden in a mountain cave near Ragala. Reports have linked this claim to research associated with Sri Lanka’s International Ramayana Research Center. But there is an important twist: there is no verified archaeological or scientific evidence that Ravana’s mummified body has actually been found there.
