Ayomukhi

Ayomukhi, in Hindu mthology, was a Rakshasi (a demoness). She is mentioned in the Ramayana. She was seen by Rama and Lakshmana in the vicinity of sage Matang’s hermitage.

This demoness wanted to romance with Lakshmana, but Lakshmana cuts her ear and nose and chases her away.

This episode of disfiguring Ayomukhi is found in the Aranyakand of the Ramayan composed by the ancient Indian sage Valmiki.
