CONCEPT:
In some Indian beliefs, Shiva (the goddess of dance, love and destruction) will come back alive one day and ruin the entire world, in order to reconstruct it for good. It will happen in a time called Kally Ages (dark ages) when people’s hearts symbolically have turned to cemeteries. No emotion nor faith will exist by that time. Shiva will start dancing in a cemetery and while they are madly dancing, they will be named SUDDHALAIYADI which means: a dancer on the ashes of cemeteries.
