"Dashanan" means 'ten-headed' and is another name for Ravana, the demon-king who features in the mythological epic Ramayana. Though Ravana battles with the divine incarnation Rama and is vanquished by him, he was a disciple of Lord Shiva and is portrayed sympathetically in this painting as one whose being is centered in Shiva. Tantric, folk and personal symbolism combine to create an image of compact integrated power.
