Shesha, Vasuki, and the Curse of Kadru: The Battle for Survival and Redemption

In ancient Indian mythology, Kadru’s curse left her snake sons in despair. Shesha sought redemption through penance, while Vasuki gathered his brothers to devise a solution. Guided by Lord Brahma, the brothers faced fate head-on, with Rishi Jaratkaru and his son Astika offering hope for their salvation.
