Riya Sharma is set to make her mark in the mythological genre with her portrayal of Kanya Kumari in Colors' epic saga Shiv Shakti - Tap Tyag Tandav. Joining a stellar cast including Ram Yashvardhan as Shiv and Subha Rajput as Parvati, Riya steps into a pivotal role that showcases her acting prowess and holds significant importance in the unfolding narrative. Her character, Kanya Kumari, is central to the storyline, symbolizing divine strength and balance, and marks a monumental step in Riya’s career.

The Story of Kanya Kumari

In the series, Kanya Kumari’s divine creation occurs after the menacing Jimbhranasur captures Kartikey, leaving Mahadev and Parvati distraught. Despite their combined efforts, Jimbhranasur taunts them, claiming immunity from their powers. Parvati’s brave yet unsuccessful attempt to defeat the demon leaves her unconscious, prompting Mahadev to summon the ultimate feminine power.

From this act of divine intervention, Kanya Kumari is born from the sacred flowers of Parvati’s gajra, placed into a sacrificial fire. Emerging as a divine child, Kanya Kumari is destined to restore balance and vanquish evil. As Mahadev and Parvati’s daughter, she embodies immense strength, resilience, and devotion. Her journey involves intense penance, a fierce determination to marry Mahadev, and a climactic battle against Jimbhranasur, showcasing her as a beacon of divine power in the saga.
