The Prophecy of Tarakasur’s End: In the celestial court of Lord Shiva, the worried deities stand before him. Shiva solemnly assures them that Tarakasur’s end is near. A divine court atop Mount Kailash, Lord Shiva seated on a grand throne, deities like Indra, Varuna, and Vayu standing in reverence. A calm but determined expression on Shiva's face as he speaks. "The troubled deities gathered before Lord Shiva, pleading for deliverance from the tyranny of the demon king Tarakasur. With calm assurance, Shiva declared—'Tarakasur’s days are numbered.'" The Divine Command: As the deities march toward the battlefield, a celestial voice commands them to choose Kartikeya as their leader. A divine army moving through a heavenly forest path, glowing clouds parting as a celestial voice echoes above. Light beams focus on Kartikeya. "As the deities marched to war, a voice thundered from the heavens—'Victory is only possible under Kartikeya’s command.' The gods immediately turned to the young warrior for guidance." Devasena's Proposal: Devasena approaches Kartikeya, requesting him to be her husband. He accepts, thus becoming ‘Deva Senapati’ (Commander of the Gods). Devasena, graceful and radiant, bows before Kartikeya under a celestial tree. Kartikeya nods in acceptance. A symbolic wedding aura encircles them. "At that moment arrived Devasena, daughter of Mrityu, with a divine proposal—'Be my husband, Kartikeya.' He accepted, earning the title ‘Deva Senapati’—Commander of the Divine Army." The March to Battle: Kartikeya leads the celestial army, riding a majestic elephant. Indra, Varuna, Kuber, and others march behind him. Kartikeya on a majestic white elephant, armor gleaming, surrounded by a well-formed divine army under golden skies, approaching the island battlefield. "Mounted on a majestic elephant, Kartikeya led a divine legion—Indra, Varuna, Kuber, and others rallied behind him, their spirits reignited by their youthful commander."
Battle Begins: The two armies clash on an island between the Ganga and Yamuna. Initially, the demons overpower the deities. A lush island battlefield, fierce clashes of glowing weapons, towering demons versus shining deities in combat. "On the sacred island between Ganga and Yamuna, the two forces collided. The demons, fierce and numerous, overwhelmed the gods. Even mighty Indra fell under Tarakasur’s brutal strike." Muchkunda’s Attempt: King Muchkunda attempts to strike Tarakasur with Brahmashtra but is stopped by Sage Narada, who reveals only Kartikeya can kill him. Muchkunda with Brahmashtra glowing in hand, Narada descends in a ray of light, warning him while Tarakasur looms in the background. "King Muchkunda rose with fury and launched the Brahmashtra. But Sage Narada intervened—'Tarakasur is immune to mortals. Only Kartikeya can slay him. Wait for the destined moment.'" Veerabhadra's Duel: Veerabhadra fiercely battles Tarakasur and wreaks havoc among the demons.
