In the Hindu epic Ramayana, Maricha, or Mareecha is a rakshasa (demon), who is killed by Rama, the hero of the epic and an avatar of Vishnu.  He is mentioned as an ally of Ravana, the antagonist of the epic.  His most notable exploit is his role in the kidnapping of Sita, Rama's wife, where he disguises himself as the Golden Deer to lure Rama away from her.
