Kathakali

Sati, the adopted daughter of Daksha, marries the god Siva against her father’s wishes, creating deep animosity between them. When Daksha holds a ritual deliberately excluding and insulting Siva, Sati attends despite being warned and is humiliated and rejected by her father. After returning, she informs Siva and urges him to act. In response, Siva creates Bhadrakali and Veerabhadra, who confront and kill Daksha by beheading him. Later, Siva restores Daksha to life by replacing his head with that of a goat. Realising his wrongdoing, Daksha repents and worships Siva, who ultimately forgives him and grants his blessings.
