“Raksasa” is a word that comes from a language called Sanskrit. It means “giant” or “monster”. Imagine a really, really big creature that’s much bigger than a person. Some people believe that raksasas are evil creatures that can do bad things to humans. They might creep around at night and scare people or even try to hurt them. In some stories, people have to do special things like say magical words or use special weapons to defeat raksasas. But in other stories, raksasas can be friendly and helpful too. Overall, raksasas are just mythical creatures that people have told stories about for a long time.
