End of Rama-Ravana War.
Ravana killed.



15th November 7292 B.C was then Phalguna Amavasya. Valmiki states that
Ravan came out for the last battle on the Amavasya day (Yudh. 93/66) and
was killed. In the description of the battle, Sage Valmiki writes, "Kosala's
nakshatra Vishakha is aspected by Mars" (Yudh. 103/37). The annual
motion of Mars is 191.405 degrees. In 14 years, it will progress by 159.58
degrees. At the time of Rama's exile, Mars was at 303 deg. 159 deg. added
to this provides Mars at 102 deg. in Pushya. From Pushya Mars could cast
its fourth-sight on Vishakha. So, the calculations presented so far seem
to be correct. It also shows Valimiki's minute observations and time recording
capabilities. Thus the date of the last battle of the War is 15th November
7292 B.C.
