Dakshayagam 3
Dakshayagam (The Fire-Sacrifice of Daksha) is a Kathakali play(Aattakatha) authored by Irayimman Thampi in Malayalam. Based on the Skanda Purana, it narrates the story of Daksha, son of Brahma, and his daughter Sathi. Sathi marries Shiva and after the marriage, an animosity develops between Daksha and Shiva. This culminates in the destruction of Daksha's yaga, or fire sacrifice, by Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali, two fierce creations of Shiva. Daksha is also killed; however, as an act of benevolence, Shiva brings Daksha back to life, albeit with a goat's head.
