Mahiravanan, one of the brothers of Raavanan, was a Rakshasan with incredible powers. Following the death of all his brothers and Indrajit as well, Ravanan took the help of Mahiravanan to destroy Raman and Lakshmanan. While Hanuman guarded the abode of the two brothers, Mahiravanan disguised himself as Vibhishanan and kidnapped the two of them. Hanuman used deceit to kill Mahiravanan and brought Raman and Lakshmanan back to Ayodhya.
