There were many such characters in the Ramayana which people still remember. One of these important characters is Kumbhkaran. Kumbhakaran is said to have slept for 6 months and awakened for 6 months. He asked for this boon from Lord Brahma. But the question will definitely come in everyone's mind that after pleasing Brahma ji, why would someone ask for a boon of sleeping for 6 months? This is because the Kumbhakaran was quite blatant and lazy.Whereas Ravana was a great scientist of his time and was expert in many subjects. The same Kumbhakarana used to spend his time sleeping. But the 6 months in which he awoke, he used to work in big experiments. From the new researches, it is speculated that Kumbhakaran was indeed a scientist. He had made his laboratory a place where no one knew about it. He lived 6 months of the year.
