Spoilers ahead
Opening in Lanka, Narada Maharshi, Nageshwara Rao Akkineni, reports to Indra that Ravana’s power stems from a deep devotion to his mother Kaikashi. Kaikashi herself keeps daily worship at the forefront, honoring Saikathalingam, a sand-carved Siva on the seashore. Indra sabotages her prayers, and Ravana pledges to gift the Atmalingam, the Lord’s soul, to her as he undertakes a rigorous penance.
Ravana, N.T. Rama Rao, eventually meets Narada and openly shares his plan. Hearing this, Parvati, B. Saroja Devi, trembles and seeks help from Vishnu for her husband’s sake. Vishnu conjures an illusion that inflames Ravana’s desire for Parvati and grants the wish, but Parvati, aware of Vishnu’s maneuver, curses him to cry when separated from his wife.
