Shiv ji aur unka vachan (Lord Shiva and His promise)
wRITER
Inspired by Hindu mythology, Shiva, an omnipotent deity believed to be capable of anything, finds himself unable to fulfil a promise made to his wife Parvati.
In this fictional interpretation, Earth is imagined as Parvati’s sister, whose deteriorating condition compels Parvati to seek Shiva’s intervention. Bound by his word and the risk of losing Parvati’s trust, Shiva turns to Narayan and his divine assembly in an attempt to resolve what appears impossible.
The play follows Shiva’s dilemma as he seeks a way to restore balance and bring Parvati back home. Using humour and mythology, the work reflects on environmental responsibility, relationships, and the challenges of fulfilling one’s promises.
