## Synopsis
In this Vikram and Betaal story, King Trivikramasena carries a corpse through a midnight cremation ground while the Vetala inside it tells him the tale of Dhavala, a devout young washerman, and his bride Madanasundari. When her husband and her brother give their lives before the goddess Durga, the goddess grants Madanasundari the power to restore them, but in her haste she sets each head upon the wrong body. Which of the two men is now her husband? An AI-assisted retelling of the riddle tale "The Vetala's Sixth Tale (the swapped heads)" from India.
