The final struggle between Ravana’s demon army and Rama’s monkey army is vividly depicted here, with the defiant brother of Ravana, Kumbakarna, looming large, as brave as he is ferocious. All the main monkey generals attack him, including Maruti (Hanuman), Nilo (Anila), Sugoriwo (Sugriva) and Ngado (Anggada), while troops of smaller monkeys are biting and scratching everyone.
