Killing of Indrajit
The death of Kumbhakarna disheartened Rawana. But Indrajit, his son, who
had conquered Indra (overlord of gods) himself consoled him, and took oath that he will not
return without killing Rama and Laxman.

Painting by Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi
Big fight ensued between Indrajit and Laxman. Laxman killed the charioteer and the horses. Indrajit then got down and continued battling. Finding him tiring out, Laxman used the invincible arrow Rama had given and blew off Indrajit's head.
