In the climax, we see the deity Guliga possess Shiva’s body, defeating the evil landlord who wants to snatch the villagers’ land. If you watched closely, you’ll recall the film’s start, where Panjurli Dev tells the king that Guliga, his fierce form, is always with him. If the king breaks his promise to give land to the villagers, Panjurli might forgive him, but Guliga won’t. And that’s exactly what happens—Guliga enters Shiva to protect the village land and destroys the landlord.

As Shiva performs the sacred kola dance, he lets out a powerful cry. From the jungle, an identical call echoes back. Hearing this, Shiva turns toward the sound, sensing something divine—perhaps realizing that Panjurli Dev is calling him.

In the film’s opening, we saw a kola dancer, possessed by Panjurli Dev, carrying a torch and walking into the jungle, vanishing at a mysterious spot. In the climax, Shiva heads to that same place. Upon reaching it, he sees Panjurli Dev. The two deities, Shiva (carrying Guliga) and Panjurli, meet joyfully, like long-lost brothers reuniting. Having protected the village with Guliga’s help, Shiva completes his divine mission. Suddenly, both deities vanish from that mystical spot, leaving a sense of awe.
