S – Siva and Sati (1-7)

Siva was happily married to Sati, the daughter of Daksa. When Daksa had an altercation with Siva, his harsh reaction and impulsive words triggered a chain of unsavoury events. The growing animosity culminated in the suicide of Sati and decapitation of Daksa. The episode is a striking reminder of the misfortune that occurs from impulsive, insensitive and offensive behaviour.
