Thiruvilayadal (1965)

In the celestial realms of the cosmos, Devarishi Narada, the celestial sage, stands before the divine family - Bhagawan Shri Shiva, Devi Maa Parvati, and their celestial offspring, Bhagwan Shri Ganesan and Bhagwan Shri Kartikeyan. He presents a sacred fruit to Shiva, sparking a divine dilemma. The fruit is passed to Parvati, who in turn wishes to distribute it amongst her sons. But Shiva, in his infinite wisdom, decrees it should go to only one, igniting a divine contest between the two celestial siblings. Succeeding in the divine test, Ganesan is named the victor, causing a cascade of celestial discontent. Kartikeyan, feeling slighted, chooses self-exile, with his divine family trailing behind in an attempt to assuage his hurt. It's during this celestial pursuit that Parvati spins a tapestry of divine tales, each starring herself and Shiva in the lead roles. From battling a monstrous sea beast to aiding a humble singer in besting an insurmountable adversary, to Shiva's righteous fury against his father-in-law Dakshan, each tale is a testament to their divine adventures. These narratives serve not only as a distraction but also as a profound testament to the cosmic roles they play, enlightening Kartikeyan and offering the audience a glimpse into the celestial lives of these divine beings.
