Duel of Sugreeva and Rawana

The bridge to Sri Lanka was built and Rama's army crossed the sea. Ravana was completely taken aback at the news. 

Rawana climbed the ramparts and started assessing his enemy's army. Both sides were cautious. Sugreeva at once took a long jump and knocked off Ravana's crown. Wrestling duel started between the two great heroes which lasted for hours. Ravana was super strong, having undertaken hard penance, and  Sugreeva had to slowly withdraw. Both returned to their camps.
