читать дальшеActually, regarding modern days Sri Lanka, as far as I know Vibhishan is considered a hero and fair king. I've heard paintings of Vibhishan decorate Parliament building or something like that.
Interesting, recently I too was checking Ramayana Tours website...

That would be good. I hate the usual depiction in India itself of him being synonymous w/ a traitor. I once caught a bit of a movie where a crooked father & son accused the rebellious daughter of being a 'gharbedi Vibhishan'. The daughter had a great comeback - she stated that Vibhishans were necessary to counter evils like Ravan, which they unwittingly equated themselves to.
In Hindu mythology, Vibhishan is immortal, but I wonder whether the Lankan fans of Vibhishan view him that way, or have any account of his death? Also, do they have any history of his line of succession? Somewhat unrelated - is there anything about what sort of a ruler Angad was after the Mahaprayan, where Sugriv too left for Suryakund, and Angad was made king?
