This page is about Vedic mythology. For the American heavy metal band, see
Danava. The Danavas in Vedic mythology were a race of the
Asuras. The Danavas were the sons of
Danu, who in turn was a daughter of
Daksha. They revolted against the gods under the leadership of Bali and others, but were defeated. In the
Rig Veda, nearly all the demons described as being defeated by the
Devas are Danavas.After their defeat, the Danavas were cast into the deepest oceans and locked there forever by
Indra, or sometimes
Rudra.
