Story of Tataki , a demoness

Tataki is a demon woman who comes in the epic " Ramayan " . Tataki was the

  daughter of king of Yaksha , Suketu . So , she is a Yaksha turned demoness .


 

Suketu had prayed to God Brahma for an offspring . He wanted a boy . But Brahma

 blessed him with a girl child who is strong and beautiful .



 

Her beauty wooed the Asura king by the name , Sumali . Both got married and

 had 2 sons .


 

Saint Agastya had cursed Tataki's father and husband to death for their evil works

 . Tataki was enraged by this and started harassing saints in return .

 

Because of this , Agastya cursed Tataki into a hideous , demonic , cannibal or man

 eating ugly creature . She was staying in forest and was a terror to people .

 

Finally , Rama killed her .
