Ravan Ki Lanka: According to Ramayana, Ravana’s Lanka was very beautiful and beautiful. It was known as ‘Golden City’. Ravana is also called Lankapati. Most of the people consider the golden Lanka as the heritage of Ravana, but according to the Puranas, this is not true. Lanka was not built for Ravana but for someone else, but how did Ravana get it? In fact, who built the golden Lanka? Let’s know.
Who made the golden Lanka?
- According to Shiva Purana, Lanka was not built by Ravana but by Lord Shiva, Lord Shiva made the entire Lanka studded with gold for Parvati.
- Lanka was built by Vishwakarma and Kubera, the craftsmen of the gods, together on the Trikutachal mountain in the middle of the sea at the behest of Lord Shiva.
- According to Hindu scriptures, once Mother Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu came to meet Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati on Mount Kailash. There Goddess Lakshmi started chilling with cold. They could not find any place in the whole mountain to escape from the cold.
- Mata Lakshmi told Parvati ji that you yourself are a princess and how can you live like this on Mount Kailash. After this, Mata Parvati ji requested Shiv ji to build such a palace which is nowhere in all the three worlds.
- Shiv ji called God Vishwakarma and God Kuber ji and built a palace of gold in the middle of the sea.
How was the golden Lanka?
- Shiva had built a palace for Mother Parvati in the middle of the Trikutachal mountain, which is called the golden Lanka. Lanka was made up of three mountain ranges.
- The name of the first mountain was Subel. Subel is the same place where a fierce battle took place between Lord Rama and Ravana.
- The second part of the mountain is called Neel, at this place there was the palace of Lanka.
- And the third and most beautiful part was Sundar Parbat where Ashok Vatika was situated. Ravana had kept Goddess Sita here.
This is how Ravana got Lanka
According to the story, once Ravana was passing over Lanka, he got greedy seeing Lanka. To get Lanka, he took the form of a Brahmin and reached Lord Shiva. As an alms, he demanded the gold of Lanka. Lord Shiva recognized Ravana but still Lord Shiva did not disappoint him and gifted him the golden Lanka. It is also believed that Ravana forcibly snatched the golden Lanka from Dhanpati Kuber.
The golden Lanka turned into ashes due to this curse
When Mother Parvati was told about giving Lanka to Ravana in charity, she got very angry and in anger she said that the golden Lanka will be burnt to ashes one day. Same thing happened. Hanuman ji burnt the golden Lanka to ashes.
