This image represents Ravana Lighting Hanuman's tail on fire. Image

The curse had been lifted, Hanuman currently recollects the entirety of his dynamic heavenly powers. He is said to have changed into the size of mountain, and flew across the thin channel to Lanka. After landing, he finds a city populated by the Lanka ruler Ravana and his evil spirit devotees, so he shrivels down to the size of an insect and sneaks into the city. Subsequent to looking through the city, he finds Sita in a woods, monitored by evil spirit champions. At the point when they the entire nod off, he meets with Sita and talks about how he came to save her. She uncovers that Ravana hijacked her and is constraining her to wed him soon. He offers to safeguard her yet Sita won't, expressing that her significant other should do it. 

So then it is that in the wake of visiting Sita, Hanuman begins annihilating the forest, provoking his catch. He winds up caught in the court of Ravana himself, who snickers when Hanuman reveals to him that Rama is returning to take Sita. Ravana orders his workers to light Hanuman's tail ablaze as torment for compromising his security. In any case, each time they put on an oil-doused fabric to catch his tail on fire, he develops his tail longer so that more garments should be added. This proceeds until Ravana has had enough and orders the lighting to start. 

In any case, when his tail is lit, he shrivels his tail back and breaks liberated from his securities with his superhuman strength. And in despite of Sita's wishes he grabs her to take her with him. Hanuman did not want her to be caught ablaze with the rest of the city. He leaps out a window and bounces from one roof to another, torching many structures, until a significant part of the city is on fire. Seeing this victory, Hanuman leaves back for India.

Authors Note: In the original story Lanka on Fire, Ravana sentences Hanuman to death, yet Vibhishana fights. Ravana chooses to set Hanuman's tail ablaze, and Hanuman causes his tail to become bigger and bigger. The huge fire makes the city of Lanka go up on fire, aside from the place of Vibhishana and Sita's ashoka woods. Hanuman gets back to Sita again, who gives him a gem to return to Rama as a token. Hanuman at that point gets back to Rama's camp. 

I kept most of the original story but I did change the fact that Hanuman took Sita with him and saved her. I changed this so that Sita would not be killed in the middle of the mess.
