After successfully installing TWRP for kitkat , i downloaded the rom and tried to install it . But when i try to install the rom , the setup shows error on both rom and Gapps . Every time i swipe to install , the device reboots suddenly and reboots again into recovery mode first page . :( please somebody help me ASAP

This ROM is Lollipop based, not KitKAt. So, you should use TWRP for L.

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, after-market firmware distribution of Android 5.1.x (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
