Siva Ragasiyam

Siva Ragasiyam

Siva Ragasiyam is a story of faith, belief, science and spirituality. It revolves around an imaginary village called Boomikaathanpatti. Boomikaathanpatti is a wonder village. The village is full of greenery with plenty of rain. The Rasamaneeswarar temple in this village is a wonder. This temple was built up by the Siddhars and the worship is as per their guidance. Most importantly, for hundreds of years, the Siddha Yaaga Pooja is performed at this temple, on full moon days. Nobody can buy land or do any construction in this village, except those who were born here. This tradition is followed for ages. For anything and everything, the villagers seek the blessings and permission of Rasamaneeswarar and then only proceed. Those who overlook this, will be punished. Vijayan tries to construct a sugar factory, in this village, using the available natural resources. But because he does not get the permission from Rasamaneeswarar, by violating the conditions and practices, he tries to know the Siddha secrets. What happened to him is on one side. On the other side, one of the villagers Ramanna, who tried to violate the practices, is in jail, following a capital punishment meted out to him in a murder case. His wife believes that Kaakkai Siddhar can save her husband. Kakkai Siddhar is endowed with Ashtama Siddhi. Especially, he is an expert in transporting himself from one body to another. Did he help Ramanna, is another side. On the whole, the secret and adventures of Siddhars in different moulds is what is Siva Ragasiyam.
