Mandodari married him after Ravana's death, you will also be surprised to know

Most people are familiar with the story of how Lord Rama defeated the arrogant demon king Ravana and freed the world from his tyranny. While the Ramayana provides detailed information about various characters, very few people know the story of Ravana's wife, Queen Mandodari. Today we will tell you in detail about how Mandodari was born and what Mandodari did after Ravana's death?

According to ancient scriptures, an Apsara named Madhura went to Mount Kailash with the intention of dedicating herself to Lord Shiva. However, on reaching Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati arrived there and was enraged to find Madhura close to her husband. She cursed Madhura to become a frog. When Lord Shiva explained the situation, Parvati ordered that Madhura must perform penance to get rid of the curse and be reborn.

Following Parvati's instructions, Madhura performed penance. Meanwhile, the demon king Mayasura and his apsara wife Hema, who had two sons but wanted a daughter, prayed to Lord Shiva for a daughter. Pleased with their devotion, Shiva granted them the boon. On their way back to their kingdom, they met Madhura, who had transformed from a frog into a beautiful maiden. They adopted her as their daughter and named her Mandodari.

Mayasura and Ravana were good friends, and when Ravana saw Mandodari, he was fascinated by her beauty.

Ravana married Mandodari even though she was aware of his flaws. Under pressure from her father, Mandodari married Ravana, although she often tried to dissuade him from his wrongdoings. After Ravana's death, Mandodari secluded herself in a quiet room in Lanka. Eventually, with the encouragement of others, she overcame her grief and married Vibhishana.
