Shivam was a rich heritage boy from a small village in Odisha. He loved to spend his days playing with his friends and exploring the nearby woods. One night, as he drifted off to sleep, he found himself in a strange, unfamiliar place.

The sky was ablaze with stars, brighter and more numerous than he had ever seen. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, carrying the sweet scent of jasmine. In the distance, he heard the soft chanting of a familiar mantra: "Tu hi he har har Mahadev."

Curiosity pulled him towards the sound. As he drew closer, he saw a group of people gathered around a bonfire. They were all dressed in white robes and wore garlands of flowers. At the center of the circle sat a wise-looking man with a long, flowing beard. His eyes sparkled with a divine light.

People saw him and started to chant Har har Mahadev, oh Prabhu you have come, Shivam could not understand anything but then it was a shallow night, lightning burst and the shadow of Lord Shiva showed upon Shivam.

The people gave out a loud tearful cry, oh Prabhu you have come to us again, please save from Sheshvayu.

Shivam couldn't understand anything they said.

Then the Priest got up from the fireplace and came to him, he told his fellow men, "Shant rakho ye ab apne neend me he, isse kahani bataya jayega to isse samjh ayega, mat bhul ye Shiva to he hi lekin Shiva, hamare prabhu ke sabse shesht avatar he".

"Listen closely, young Shivam," the priest began, his voice filled with a solemn tone. "The story I am about to tell you is one of ancient times, of a rakshash named Sheshvayu who once terrorized our lands."

"Sheshvayu was not like the rakshashs of old. He was a creature of modernity, a manifestation of the greed and corruption that has plagued our world. He appeared in the form of a towering, shadowy figure, his eyes burning with an insatiable hunger for power and wealth."

"Sheshvayu's methods were insidious. He would infiltrate the hearts of the powerful, whispering temptations of greed and corruption. He would sow discord among friends and families, turning them against one another. And he would bring about economic ruin, leaving countless people destitute and suffering."

"Our people lived in fear of Sheshvayu. We prayed to Lord Shiva for deliverance, but the demon seemed invincible. He had grown so powerful that even the gods feared to confront him."

"One night a miracle happened Lord Shiva revealed to us the truth about Sheshvayu and the destruction he was causing. He entrusted us with a sacred task: In his last Avatar, you, Shivam, he will come to confront the rakshash and banish him from our world."

"It was said in the Shivmantra, Armed with the divine power bestowed upon you by Lord Shiva, you would journey to Sheshvayu's lair. The battle would be fierce, but in the end, your courage and faith will prevail. With the help of the gods and the prayers of your people, you will defeat Sheshvayu and banish him to the depths of the underworld."

"From that day forward, our land will be free from the terror of Sheshvayu. And you, Shivam, will be known as the chosen one, the savior who had delivered us from darkness."

"Tu hi he Mahadev, Har Har Mahadev"

Shivam opened his eyes and woke up from his bed.
