Khara is one of the
demon-king Ravana's siblings in the Ramayana, the earlier of the two major
Indian epics.
Khara works with his brother Dushana to revenge the dignity
of their sister Shurpanakha, who had her ears and nose cut off by Rama's
brother Lakshmana.
Rama defeats the demon army in a violent fight, slaying
Khara and Dushana.
Shurpanakha seeks revenge against their brother Ravana after
seeing her two brothers' defeat.
Ravana believes he won't be able to kill Rama in combat, so he decides to revenge his sister by capturing Sita, which sets the tone for the rest of the epic.
