In the shadows of forgotten temples and whispered legends lies the ancient tale of Kotravai Amman, a fierce warrior goddess from Tamil lore whose dance binds both demons and destinies. Arjun Varma finds himself haunted by a letter from his vanished grandfather - a cryptic message echoing one chilling truth: "She is still dancing."
Propelled by ancestral mysteries and familial obsessions, Arjun embarks on a journey that pulls him toward Kattalai, an obscure village steeped in secrets, guarded by silent elders and wary eyes. Alongside Priya Ramanathan, an impassioned scholar drawn to the forgotten rituals of the temple dancers known as the Rudra Kanigai, Arjun sets out to unravel the tangled web of history, ritual, and legend. Yet, as they delve deeper into the forgotten corridors of the ancient Kotravai Temple, reality itself begins to shift. Ancestral memories resurface, spectral dances blur the line between myth and truth, and an ancient evil threatens to consume everything they hold dear.
Bound by fate and an enigmatic prophecy, Priya and Arjun must risk everything to uncover the truth behind the ritualistic 'Shakti Koothu' and the temple's hidden secrets before history claims them, as it did their predecessors. Rich with mysticism, tradition, and unspoken fears, Rudra Kanigai is an evocative tale of obsession, redemption, and the enduring power of a dance that refuses to die.
