#Shouryaangas

[potplant-at-dreamkeepers-cottage]

So I have watched Salaar only once (can't watch it again for some time), but I am so so obsessed

But I have some questions

At the end of movie, Deva is revealed to be Dhaara Raisaar's son, who would have become the 'karta' of Khansaar. And I don't understand how he couldn't have known that

He is clearly well versed in Shouryaangas' customs (that sword ritual he performs at the end of movie, same as others), and his and his mother's association with Dhaara was known, given the fact they came for her after Dhaara was assainated

Considering the royalty Mannar siblings grew up in and the fact that the Shouryaangas know about him, they look at him as their leader (Bhaarava and his men recognis him, were Looking for him), the possibility that both Deva and Vardha are/were unaware of his parents and supposed destiny is not sitting right with me.

Even if the possibility that Deva's parents were estranged, how could he or anyone else around him, not have known

Right The Wrongs

Hey everyone, this was just supposed to be a hc, I thought up in the server(https://discord.gg/qAu8tqTjfQ) but it evolved into a fic(?). Please don’t mind any and all grammatical mistakes and typos, for I’m not proofreading the whole content. And a big thank you and love you to all the peeps from the server for live reacting❤️‍🔥😭🏃‍♀️✨

Part 1

So varadeva divorce happens and vara is with a baby. Now the baby is old enough to walk by the time deva breaks the seal. Now deva is brought to the court and he’s presented with two choices either hand over Aadhya as she has khansaars seal and take over his previous position of being the Salaar or yield his rights of being the Salaar, the shouranga heir and to cut off all ties with any Khansaarian until death. 

Relinquishing his right to the throne, Varadha and lastly unbeknownst to him, their daughter also. Jus when he puts the pen down. He hears a kids laugh from outside the room. He takes one look at vara. And starts sprinting towards the door. Vara quietly commands baba. And baba exits through another door. Deva is already out when he sees baba hiding someone from his view and walking to a room opposite to him.  A small hand peeks above babas shoulder. And deva let’s out a silent gasp and tries to reach for them. To turn baba around look at that someone. But before he could do that he’s being overwhelmed with men pushing him away. Any other day he would flick them off of him but today he’s mentally unstable. He sees baba getting inside the room. And vara appears at the doorway. Looks at him bitterly eyes red and closes the door. Deva is shouting at the top of his lungs. 

He’s pushed out of the Mannar mansion. He slaps his forehead for making the stupid decision of signing the papers. He’s not worried about a stupid piece of paper but what he’s worried about is vara will now have a reason to send his armies against him in case he tries to meet their kid breaching the contract. And armies he can handle, but their kid wouldn’t have a home to live in if their parents are at a war against each other. It starts to rain heavily and his tears disappearing in the rain droplets and walks and walks without any direction in mind he’s forgotten abt Aadhya Bilal and amma murmuring I’m sorry Varadha over and over again.

For next 7 years, Varadha is dealing with rebellions against his rule. And he can’t even bring deva back cause of the contract. Also his loyalists wolves in sheep clothing are waiting for a moment karta lets up and makes a mistake. One night vara with heavy heart goes to his daughter’s bedroom talks about her father, the Salaar of Khansaar, his husband and the only love of his life.  She’s very angry at deva and badmouths him but Vara admonishes her saying please don’t get angry at your father he loves appa so much and he loves you the double but she goes as if! he doesn’t even know me vara chuckles sadly brushing her hair out of her eyes bids her good night with a kiss on her forehead to behave good until he’s back attend classes and her training. The very next day she hears about Appa’s death as his tent had been ambushed by vedha, finally Radha Rama wins.

The entirety of Khansaar is thrown into chaos as karta Varadha is no longer alive. They know of the princess but she’s too young to get be installed as Karta. And all of Khansaar is eyeing the throne and they want the princess to be eliminated. Baba quickly absconds the Mannar mansion with the teenage princess without as much as mourning for Varadha. The shourangas welcome them with scorn for the one and only reason that the princess has shouranga blood flowing in her. Baba tries his level best to contact deva but in vain. The princess develops hatred against deva. For abandoning her, appa and baba.

It’s been seven years since then, baba has died, Radha Rama has claimed the throne and the princess presents herself as alpha on the fateful night they took up shelter in the shouranga territory. She’s 21 now and she’s craving for revenge, with deep rooted hatred for her Appa’s murderers and her father Deva. She’s 21 now and she’s craving for revenge, with deep rooted hatred for her Appa’s murderers and her father Deva. But it’s not as easy as it seems to be with them on the losing side so the princess descends into madness, and ambushes the dinner Karta Radha Rama schedules as a celebration for almost winning the battle effectively weeding out rebellions, alone.

She slashes all the pigs seated for a feast, throat parched with war cries, eyes red body drenched with the blood of her Appa’s murderers and murderers of her kin back in shouranga territory, bile rises up her throat to look at people ready to bite into flesh when their men are laying down lives in vain, ready to kill their siblings, ready to separate a daughter from her father. She finally goes up to Radha Rama, who looks up to the princess sneering still very much regal, white hair peeking out from her long braid and opens her mouth to talk but the princess slices her neck dejectedly saying You don’t have the right for last words, Auntie.

She walks out of the hall drenched in blood looking like Kateramma herself, setting fire the whole way to the throne room, she stands in the middle looking at the throne as her surroundings are engulfed by fire, lifts her sword up pointing to the throne and turns around slowly her sword now pointing to Deva who is now running towards her as she drops dead onto the floor. Deva runs into the fire holding the princess close to him wailing at the Gods standing tall in the throne room. The princess strictly commanded her army and kin to never let Deva know about Khansaar and most importantly Appa’s death , she said That man, who is not worthy to be called a father didn’t think twice before signing a stupid paper over a woman very much aware he would lose the right of calling Appa his husband, so why would he now run back when he hears about Appa’s death?! I don’t want his false show of tears nor his fake concern!

Deva has never looked back fearing Varadhas wrath and he first hand knows the evil reality of war and he doesn’t want his kid to grow up in a war ridden society and prays everyday for his husband and kid to live happily far away from him and the deaths he brings. He runs away to Ladakh drowns himself in alcohol and construction work. He had become a recluse. His only stops were home, work and the alcohol shop. He stares at the wall in his house replaying his last bitter farewell with his family time and again, how things would’ve been different if he hadn’t signed the papers, if he hadn’t stopped the seal and if he hadn’t left Varadha but nothing changes he’s still here in the dark about to doze off to a alcohol induced slumber instead of hearing his husband and kid calling him for dinner. One day, fourteen years later he gets a letter from Khansaar.

And it’s addressed to Devaratha Raisaar Shouryanga-Mannar, surprised he still has his birth and martial surnames intact. Hope glimmering in his eyes, thinking hundreds of possibilities that his husband has forgiven him and ready to have him back or their kid might be have been installed as a Dora or as Karta!? And he’s been invited for the ceremony but his racing mind suddenly stops at the first sentence; Karta Varadha Rajamannar had died 14 years ago. Radha Rama is now Karta. Your daughter had been leading us shouryangas and whatever traditional faction of Mannar is remaining to dethrone Rama. But victory is bleak. And she’s now determined to burn along with the entirety of Khansaar. She never listened to reason, it didn’t matter when it came avenging her Appa. We are not sure if anything of Khansaar will remain before this letter reaches you. Oh, her name is Devi.

Deva is on auto pilot, grabs his keys to his jeep, while covering his mouth and shouts into his palms muffling his angry wails, tears running down his face never blinking and starts his road journey to Khansaar, not stopping for sleep or food but only when the jeep is out of fuel or is broken down. His face swollen because of tears, not letting his mind think fearing he would break down and die in an accident before meeting his daughter their daughter it physically hurts him to even think about his love, he doesn’t deserve to.

He reaches Khansaar after 2 days of travelling which is splattered in red and covered in smoke, not a single soul around. He climbs the stairs leading to the sacred halls of throne room only to witness his signature sword pointed at him by an young woman with long black hair in tresses, and face streaked with kohl and covered in blood and starts sprinting towards her but then she drops onto the floor making his heart stop and legs to speed up not caring his for legs catching fire. He gathers Devi into his lap and finds that she already is dead. He loses his mind and cries and wails and beats his fists to the ground. Cursing Khansaar for their plight. Devi, you shouldn't have been named after me, says Deva regretfully.

He has lost both his husband and daughter at the same time. When exhaustion and lack of sleep catches him, he deliriously starts talking to Devi as if she were a baby. You have Varadhas nose! And my feet and hands! You will be inheriting Varadhas entire library filled with ancient scrolls and scriptures. And my weaponry! Everything belongs to you. I’ll take you to my favorite place tomorrow, it’s our secret place! Your Appa must be running late, but let’s first go to sleep? Then he closes his eyes clutches Devi tightly against himself as the flames are drawing in…

Deva opens his eyes, his cheeks wet with tears, finding himself back in their bed clutching Varadha tightly.

To be continued...

The Threats The Promises

They mocked Deva or taunted Varadha with threats but Deva remembers it like a promise, he never forget, he indeed has Shouryaanga's blood running through his veins, they hold grudges, they keep it in their heart closely and will take revenge ten fold than what's been done to them. That's why Rajamannar fear them so much he built a high wall around Khansaar just in case one of them live "The Shouryaanga's vengeance is unimaginable" he said.

Why it had to be the head when it come to Vishnu and Naarang's deaths? Because they mentioned about chopping off Varadha's head and Deva is one who always fulfill a promise and he delivered just as they requested. They got what they asked for.  Even with Vishnu the way he just spiked him through his head and hold him up like an umbrella for a moment because Vishnu mocked Varadha about not having anyone holding an umbrella for him. So Deva turned him into an umbrella like "here an umbrella for you" lmao Deva is ruthless, he is quiet like a cobra that will strike when he's ready. Almost to the point of merciless, his impulse and his rage is too big that he has to keep it inside because he could hurt people greatly with it.

Or the way Naarang stupid head asking Varadha to place his head at his feet, Deva made sure that Naarang's own head would roll perfectly at Varadha's feet, because Deva likes to be precise. People can't talk shit about Varadha unless they want Deva to show up at their doors and give them what they asked for.

Also the way Deva slapped the goon that taunted him by slapping himself with Deva's hand, the asshole did it three times and Deva counted it, he slapped him back with his own hand twice at first and used the last blow to really knocked him off his feet to make it three times just like he did it himself before 😂 he even remembered the sentence that the bad guy said to him "it hurts really bad" in mocking manner in which he later throw back at him as he walked away with "does that hurt?" after he slapped the shit out of him lol

That's why I keep remembering about Deva's warning to Rudra, if he ever dared to touch Varadha's nose ring again then it won't be a wire next time but an electric pole, and the mofo indeed touched Varadha's nose ring again and Deva might've heard about this from Baba, Bilal or Rinda or even Baachi and I think in Salaar 2 Deva gonna yank out Rudra's nose ring till he's bleeding to avenge Varadha's humiliation and Deva probably gonna throw him or kick him till he's on the wires and burned him on that electric pole till he die lol that's how I see Rudra's end based on Deva's track record keeping score with his promises. Let's see.

[ulaganayagi]

At some point I feel like either varadha or deva is going to die. imagine if it ends just like Nandini and Adita Karikalan in PS-II where nandini just screams to hold adita karikalan's body just one last time again while she was being dragged away?? What if Varadha dies by the hands of his own salaar, deva who is avenging the shouryaangas, his hands having the same blood of the one who he took a vow to be the hunted or the hunter just for him?

(I want someone to sketch this </3)

[thsist]

The salaar brainrot is getting a bit too real so im going to dump some ideas here

1) It's salaar 2, Varadha and Deva have killed Rajamannar. Varadha is sitting on the Kartha's Throne and Deva, covered in blood and the traditional Shouryaanga colours and outfit, takes the necklace/bracelet off Rajamannar's body, puts it on Varadha infront of all of Khansaar, and kneels by his side

2)(based on the historical varadeva au post) bahubali x urumi, where mahendra is being chased by the royal guards, and just when he think's he's about to die a masked man (Kelu) comes and saves him. Timeskip and both him and Kelu are in Mahishmati for different reasons (maybe Kelu wants to kill the ruler 🤭) and they both end up saving Devasena (maybe enemies to lovers???)

[sometimesbrave]

Happy AU where Bhaarava and Deva were friends and in love with the Mannars: Radha Rama and Varadha

Radha Rama **angrily yelling**: BHAARAVA

Bhaarava: It's okay. She hasn't yelled my full name.

Radha Rama: BHAARAVA SHOURYAANGA

Deva laughing his ass off: Dude, you are so screwed.

Varadha **angrily yelling**: DEVARATHA SHOURYAANGA RAAISAR

Bhaarava: We are both screwed, bro.

[navinskizz]

Haha so them🫶🙂

There is still a part of me that believes deva planned it all to go back to khansaar. From letting Radharama’a people know about adhya’s location, leading krishnakath to bilal for help (bilal knows only a part of deva’s plan but he still helped so adhya reached to deva for help) and leaded them to his location and him making sure his amma wont be able stop him anymore.

I have my reasoning(may sound stupid but listen) like why is he creating weapons and has bundles of them? He caused a big scene while knowing it will cause problems and made sure camera captured his solid view lol. He created the seal and knew what it meant and he still put out a show for everyone to watch like boy wants to go back to khansaar(and see his angry bae varadha lol) even though it meant he will face consequences.

Idk why he did all that but it’s a theory based on the fan made theory of deva directly or indirectly killing baachi which led to them being enemies. Maybe other shouryaangas killed baachi and deva got the blamed. Others got killed but varadha let deva go in the name of friendship they had or Amma pleaded for his mercy so varadha told him that he will never call for deva again something like that. Amma got to know her son craziness in khansaar and took him back that’s why she doesn’t like deva wielding any sorts of weapon like objects and that’s why she calls him a monster in a way. Deva is desperate not only to go back to khansaar but to varadha(deva is obsessive and possessive) before he was able to wait for 25 years cus he knew varadha would call for him someday but now even tho only 7 years had passed he became desperate , let’s think only few months had passed after he left khansaar but he became severely unmanaged so he started his plan(made a whole presentation with the title how to go back to khansaar and make up with your angry bf who would not call you back) but his mom would keep on shifting from one to another place which kind of made it hard. So deva kept trying to find different ways to get to varadha til he landed on Krishnakath’s daughter who wanted to come India for her mother and targeted her. Like even though he is strong as hell he can’t just enter khansaar yk and there is no other way to contact varadha so he needed to find a way where he does not just get kill outside but atleast inside and once inside khansaar he can get to varadha easily peasily.

So yes deva planned it all for me.

IT WAS DEVA ALL ALONG.

[carminavulcana]

Summary-

Who was Devaratha Shouryaanga Raisaar?

To some, he was their savior. To some, he was a benevolent demon. To others, he was death personified.

But for Bujjima, he was the embodiment of love and cuddles and all things warm and alive.

A story about Deva rescuing a dog.

Snippet(s)-

I

“You will need someone,” he had insisted gently. “Even you cannot walk this path alone. If not for yourself, take me with you for your amma’s sake. I will not add to your burdens. But I will protect you and her from harm.”

“I can take care of myself,” Deva had retorted. “You don’t have to tear yourself away from the only life you have known.” 

“I do so willingly,” Bilal had said and placed himself at Deva’s feet. “Take me with you.” 

And so, here they were, packing away their peace, their existence, the last shreds of normalcy they would know. There would be no goodbyes said to the neighborhood families that had become their friends over the years. There would be no explanation left for the children his amma had taught all these years. As for himself, well, Bharuch was going to lose its best mechanic and its most talented wicketkeeper. 

All things considered, it was a small price to pay in exchange for safety; theirs as well as their own. 

II

“I’m going to keep him. I always wanted a dog. And you never allowed me to have one when I was younger. Well, now I have one. And I didn’t find him. He found me.” 

Amma made a face. She didn’t think it was a good idea to have a dog in the house, especially such a small, weak, runty little thing. 

But even her stone-cold heart could not deny the flicker of childlike joy in her son’s eyes. It made him look younger, more innocent, almost like someone he could have been in a different time and place. 

[deadloverscity]

dropped new fic and it's angst lmao

summary:

He hates himself for it, his god probably hates him for it. But everything be damned, why must they be created like this–to love only once, even if they are from a family of sinners and killers. To find peace in eyes that witnessed deaths without remorse?

Deva hates himself for it

(Or, Deva is unaware of Varadha's role is saving him and misunderstands him to be complicit with his father action resulting in 25 years of feeling betrayed but the shouryaangas only love once)

[rambheem-is-real]

I saw some people confused over timelines so wanted to mention that the movie states:

-Varadha was 10 when the Shouryaanga were massacred and Deva and his mother had to escape. This was in 1985. I guess Deva must have been similar age

-2017 is the current story with Aadhya, so Deva and Varadha would be around 42

-2010 is the past story with Deva reuniting with Varadha and returning to Khansaar after 25 years, so they would be around 35

Also if people haven't watched the Prashanth-Prabhas-Prithviraj interview with Rajamouli, I highly recommend! Especially for when Prabhas says he "fell in love with Prithviraj more than Shruti 100% for sure" lol

oh that makes so much sense thank you!

[magicaldragons]

family dynamics.

– Devaratha –

We know that Deva is someone who feels emotions strongly, he's very reactive to things that happen in his life.

However, from what we can tell, his family is the exact opposite:

Deva's father, Dhaara, was next in line to the throne, which implicitly means that the Shouryaangas saw Dhaara as someone rational, trustworthy, and 'brutal' enough to lead them. We also know that Dhaara was strict.

and Deva's mother is someone who – even though she is capable of warmth – is very blunt when it comes to her display of concern & approval (or it's lack thereof). For her to accept Dhaara's death so rationally, and not go into an emotional spiral, (including not seeking vengence for his death) shows that even she is predominantly very practical.

Deva, for his whole life, was a boy full of very big emotions in a family that operated through & handled most situations with logic.

Even though both his parents must have cared for him, Deva must have felt very alone before Varadha came along, trying his best to hold all of his overwhelming emotions inside himself – especially with a family that may have understood his violence, but not the place it came from.

— love, a definition: part one [part two / part three]
