Sakthiyin 7 Ragasiyangal / சக்தியின் 7 ரகசியங்கள்

Kali stands on Shiva’s chest. Is this female domination?

The fourth title in the bestselling ‘7 Secrets’ series focuses on the Goddess, and respected mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik tries to unravel the secrets locked within her stories, symbols and rituals.
