INTRODUCTION : 
According to Ramayana, Kabandha was a demon, who was previously lived as a Gandharva with the name “DANU” in the Gandharva Loka, and used to sing songs in praise of Lord Vishnu. Once he got several boons from Lord Brahma, after performing severe penance. After containing great powers through his boons, he attacked Lord Indra, in order to capture his Indra Loka. Lord Indra was very angry, and cursed him to become an ugly demon. Since he was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu, Lord Vishnu fell pity on him, and appeared before him, and informed that during his Rama Avatar, he would be relieved from his curse.
Then Kabandha wandered in the Krauncha forest. And once he met Rama and Lakshmana in the forest, and attacked them. Rama and Lakshmana fought with him and killed him. After his death, Kabandha had regained his original form of gandharva, and directs Rama to visit the Mountain Rishyamukha, in order to seek the help of the monkey king Sugriva, towards the search for Sita, who had been kidnapped by Ravana. Then he worshipped Rama and Lakshmana and reached his Gandharva Loka. Based on his instructions, Rama become a friend of Sugriva and rescued Sita through his help.
Let us worship the great Kabandha and be blessed.
