Dhanyamalini, also referred to as Dhanyamala and Dhanyamali, is one of the thousand junior wives of Ravana, the antagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana. She appears rarely in the epic and is famous as the mother of Atikaya. [1] In some other versions of the Ramayana, Dhanyamali had three sons from Ravana — Narantaka, Devantaka, and Trishira.[2][3][4]
