This demon-king was granted a blessing through which he could not be defeated by any Dev, animal or monsters but human. For the same, Ram, seventh incarnation of God Vishnu, took birth on earth as human and shot an arrow in the belly-button of Raavan causing death.

However, in Ramaayan, there is no such evidence as to what happened to the body of the deceased demon. In Sri Lanka, there are various spots that were present during the Ramaayan.
