Varahimedia.com online news, October 30th,2024: A video circulating on social media claims the discovery of Kumbhakarna’s sword, the giant weapon said to belong to Ravana’s younger brother from the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana. The sword shown in the video appears massive, sparking excitement and debate online.
In the footage, several slides depict a large sword lying on the ground within a tunnel-like structure, with individuals in protective gear standing nearby, supposedly archaeologists examining the artifact. The video alleges that this sword dates back to 5000 BC and was found in Sri Lanka, aligning with the timeline of Kumbhakarna, who is often described as a mighty warrior and younger sibling to Ravana, the king of Lanka.
The images show individuals in comparison to the sword, highlighting its immense size. However, the figures appear quite small next to the sword, which has led to mixed reactions. Many are questioning the authenticity of the discovery, given the fantastical element it introduces to historical finds.

In India, where Ravana is traditionally burned on Dussehra and Ram Lila is performed during Diwali, such stories resonate with cultural fascination. The claim has added fuel to the excitement on social media, where users continue to debate and share their opinions on the legitimacy of this alleged ancient relic.
