On August 23rd, 2024, the episode of Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav began with a significant transformation that left the people of Basti shocked. Babul revealed himself as Lord Shiv, with the background resonating with the divine song “Om Kara Sadashiv Neelkanth Maheshwara.” The people of Basti were astonished by this revelation. Mumba was also revealed to be Mata Parvati, and she transformed accordingly. The people of Basti, recognizing their divine presence, greeted Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati with reverence, chanting “Har Har Mahadev” in unison. The children of Shiv Shakti, along with Nandi, joined in the chant, adding to the divine atmosphere.
Sardaran, feeling regretful, lamented her failure to recognize Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati earlier. She expressed her sorrow, thinking she was unlucky not to have seen through their true identities. Sardar, understanding her feelings, acknowledged that he too had shown anger, albeit out of love. He then addressed Mumba, asking for her forgiveness if he had wronged her in any way. Mumba, in her divine form, reassured them, stating that they were her parents, and she would always be their daughter, no matter the circumstances. This bond would not change, she affirmed. Lord Shiv then helped Sardar to stand, while Mata Parvati assisted Sardaran, further cementing their divine connection. Sardaran reminisced about how she had come to have Mumba as her daughter, adding an emotional depth to the scene.
Lord Shiv addressed Sardar and Sardaran, telling them that they were now his in-laws and that all he needed from them were their blessings. Sardar, feeling honored, expressed his gratitude, saying he was fortunate to have raised Mata Parvati and now was about to become the father-in-law of Lord Shiv. This realization brought him immense joy. However, a concern was raised by one of the men present, questioning how the marriage would proceed without knowledge of the necessary mantras. At that moment, Narad appeared, assuring everyone that they need not worry about the rituals. He confidently took charge, chanting “Shiv Shakti ki jai” and then leading everyone to chant “Babul and Mumba ki jai.”
Meanwhile, Mumbarak, who had lost consciousness earlier, regained it momentarily and saw Shiv Shakti. He was determined to inform Jalandhar of the truth but fainted again before he could act on his thoughts.
The scene then shifted to Mumba and Babul preparing for their wedding. They arrived at the marriage mandap, exchanging smiles filled with anticipation and joy. The title song played softly in the background, adding a layer of emotion to the moment. Narad, ever the facilitator, announced that it was time for the varmala ceremony to begin. Mumba, with grace and devotion, placed the marriage garland around Babul’s neck. Narad then instructed Babul to do the same, which he did, placing the garland around Mumba’s neck. As they exchanged garlands, the song “Saat phere” played, highlighting the sacredness of the moment. They both smiled at each other, their union solidified in the presence of the divine.
Mumbarak, having regained consciousness once more, witnessed the marriage proceedings from afar. The scene was filled with divine energy as Mumba and Babul sat at the mandap, ready to complete their union. Narad instructed Sardaran to perform the gadhbandhan, which she did, tying the sacred knot that symbolized the union of Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati. Following this, Narad guided Babul to fill Mumba’s forehead with vermilion, a significant ritual in their marriage. Babul complied, and as he filled Mumba’s forehead with vermilion, the title song played again, marking the completion of their sacred marriage rites. Mumbarak observed all this, though still unable to intervene.
The episode ended with the sacred marriage of Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati, witnessed by all present, leaving a profound impact on the people of Basti. Their divine union was now complete, setting the stage for future events in the storyline.
Episode ends.
