Village in MP offers special prayers for Ravan, calls him 'Ravan Baba'

A village named Ravan village in Madhya Pradesh’s Nateran tehsil offers special prayers to the King of Lanka, Ravana, and affectionately calls him 'Ravan Baba'. Villagers don't burn Ravana's effigy but worship him as their presiding deity at an ancient Parmar-era temple housing a 12-foot reclining idol of Ravana. Some villagers also have tattoos of Ravana’s name on their bodies.
