Lord Surya’s (Sun God) charioteer Aruna who assumes the form of a woman, begets a child from Lord Indra (Lord of Heaven) called Bali, and one from Lord Surya (Sun God) called Sugriva. Bali who becomes the King of Kishkinta has a misunderstanding with Sugriva leading to sibling rivalry. Ruma, Sugriva’s wife is forced to become Bali’s consort. Sugriva, fearing Bali, takes refuge atop the Rissyamukha Mountains, where Bali cannot enter owing to a curse from the Sage Mathanga. Sugriva along with trusted ministers like Hanuman meet Sri Rama, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and offer their help to kill the demon king Ravana and to rescue Sita, the beloved wife of Rama. In return for Sugriva’s favour, Rama helps Sugriva confront Bali in a battle and Bali is killed by Rama’s arrow.
