Fresh off the festive season, as the glow of Dussehra and Diwali, the symbol of triumph of good over evil fades, COLORS’ ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav’ takes viewers back to the very legend that defined that eternal battle, the rise of Ravan who is also known to be lord Shiva’s parambhakt. The upcoming track ignites a powerful clash between arrogance and devotion as the mighty Ravan crosses paths with Nandi who is also lord Shiva’s greatest devotee and loyal gatekeeper. The fire of pride meets the calm of purpose, and Mount Kailash stands witness. What begins as a moment of confrontation soon spirals into a cosmic test of faith, fury, and surrender. When Ravan, returning from his conquest of Kubera’s kingdom, dares to soar his Pushpak Viman over the sacred abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Nandi stands in his way, echoing Shiva’s divine word. The face-off between two greatest devotees of lord Shiva marks the beginning of a gripping track that unravels Ravan’s journey, his brilliance, his devotion, and his inevitable descent into ego.
