I guess,some of the above mentioned stories might be told like they told Markendeya Rishi's story and also the shivlinga/lingam story...

While,Maa Durga's stories might be shown after Shiv-Parvati's marriage and after Parvati attains her Adi-Shakti form...

Donno about the others...

Question,Is the Tripurasura story the one in which Mahadev destroys the three asura city as the Tripurantaka???? If so,then I guess, it will be shown after Tarkasura's death...

it depends upon how the Cvs interpret the time line-for starters because Kartikeyas birth happens soon after Mahadevs Marriage they have to show her around at that time...also it depends upon how they take Bagirathas time line-he was a forefather of Rama-who was born during Treta Yug,so they can take the story to be happening during Satyug...also Parvtais involvement isnt clearly mentioned anywahere so her situation at that time can only be presumed!

there is no solid proof of the timeline with anyone, especially when it comes in reference to mythology-because the Purana s state stories in verses rather than according to their occurrence in a sequence..(exception the Ramayana and the Mahabharata which are written in an order!)

regarding Ganga,Laxmi and Sarawatis fight-the show has gone with the Laxmi-Narayan,Sarawati-Bramha route of the story-to stay safe of any controversy because Laxmi is regarded to be Vishnus wife...also here they have shown that Ganga is born to Himavan,hence the above story cannot be applicable!

its all about interpretation...it depends upon how the Cvs take it!

Regarding the Samudra manthan,Durga,slaying of the demons,majority of them take place post the Parvati and Shiva marriage!

@Shreya-they have taken another route of the story-an entirely different one!-so lets see what they want to show...

True, it seems the world is not really affected by Tarakasur. Only the devas are in trouble. 😆

Not really. According to many of the legends, Shiva spends many (thousands!) years after the marriage with Parvati (honeymooning, lovemaking...depending upon the version) before his seed was released. And even after that, as the seed passed from Agni to Ganga to a (lake in a) forest of reeds, etc thousands of years passed in each stage. So it depends on how the creatives interpret the events.

@Kal-like you said it depends upon how the intrepreation of the story takes place

Of course they can't take years in reality. I was just pointing out that there is scope for them to drag the story on and on and intertwine other stories into the narrative. For example: what if they show Parvati creating Ganesh during the thousands of years that Shiva's seed is passing on from Agni to Ganga and so on. So by the time Kartikeya is actually born, Ganesh would already be around. 😆 This would create a sort of middle ground between the North Indian belief of Skanda being the elder son and the South Indian one of Ganesh being the elder one. Heck they could make it even more complicated by having Kartikeya return to Kailash in the period between Ganesh's decapitation and revival with an elephant head. So then, who really is the older brother? 🤣

Regarding the bond between Ganga and Parvati, there are also many stories, folk tales and folk songs about their jealousy; stories of their eternal conflict over Shiva. I wonder if they will show that. 😈

One thing: there are certain traditions in Bengal where Ganga is considered Shiva's first wife and Parvati the second. So the Gangadhar story happening before Parvati marries Shiva is not entirely without basis, in a manner of speaking.

Actually the whole Ganga Marrying Mahadev thing was cocked up by traditionalists-who think that a man and woman can have no other relation other than being married[:/]..infact for a fact many stories were edited so as to not have have an effect on girls in a wrong way..

Will they show Nahush's story simultaneously ? Because I think it was in this story that Indra was terminated as the king of Gods
