- In the penultimate battle scene, Shiva sustains a wound to his forehead that predicts the arrival of Swami Guliga in his body. According to Puranic Itihaas, Lord Shiva’s third eye opens during the process of the cosmos dissolving. It’s interesting to note that Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu have a transcendental bond of devotion. In the film, as Swami Guliga kills the landlord, he prostrates before Panjurli Dev, a stone statue of Lord Shiva dressed as Lord Vishnu’s devotee. The usage of “Varaha Roopam,” a hymn that honours Lord Varaha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, right after the sequence emphasises its significance. The dance of creation is followed by the dance of death throughout the film, even stylistically.
