    Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a curious young boy named Arjun. Every evening, he would gather with the other children, waiting for Grandma Kamala to share tales.

    One day, Grandma Kamala decided to tell the children a story from the ancient scriptures. Arjun's eyes widened with excitement as he settled in to listen.

    Grandma Kamala began, 'Long, long ago, in the mystical land of Kailasa, there lived Lord Shiva, known for his kindness, wisdom, and love for all living beings.'

    'One day,' Grandma Kamala continued, 'a powerful demon named Jalandhara rose to threaten the world. Lord Shiva, saw the danger and decided to protect the universe.'

    'Lord Shiva, realized that defeating Jalandhara required a clever plan. He created a beautiful woman, Shubhavati, from the essence of Goddess Parvati.'

    'Shubhavati entered Jalandhara's kingdom, won his heart, and weakened his powers. Meanwhile, Lord Shiva, disguised as Jalandhara, confronted the demon in a fierce battle.'
