Set against the backdrop of the sacred Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, Jatadhara follows Shiva, a man born from sacrifice, who becomes entangled in a web of ancient secrets and supernatural forces. When he uncovers forbidden truths hidden beneath the temple’s sealed vaults, he is drawn into a cosmic battle between divinity and greed.
The antagonist, Dhanapisachini—Demon of Greed—emerges to challenge the balance of spiritual power, forcing Shiva to confront his destiny. As myth and mystery collide, the film explores themes of selflessness, devotion, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness
