Subahu (Sanskrit: सुबाहु, romanized: Subāhu) was a rakshasa featured in the Hindu epic Ramayana.

Dasharatha obliged by sending two of his sons, Rama and Lakshmana, to the forest with Vishvamitra, charging them to protect both the sage and his sacrificial fires.

Maricha refused and tried to persuade Ravana to not commit such a dreadful sin.

Maricha eventually decided to be killed by Rama since it was better to die at the hands of God rather than Ravana.

This eventually lured Lakshman away from Sita, and allowed Ravana to assume the form of a sage and abduct her.
