Lakshmana is a prince of Ayodhya and one of the central figures in the Sanskrit epic Ramayana, traditionally attributed to the sage Valmiki. Lakshmana is best known as the Hindu deity Rama’s younger half brother, companion, and protector. He accompanies Rama and his wife, Sita, during their 14-year exile and helps Rama in the war against the demon king Ravana, notably by killing Ravana’s son Indrajit.
