Devon Ke Dev Mahadev

Sati, who is the daughter of Prajapati Daksh, finds a rudraksh while drawing water from river along with her sisters. Prajapati Daksh, an opposer of Lord Shiv, dares to place Vishnu's incomplete idol in the temple. Prajapati Daksh performs Narayani Yagna to please Lord Vishnu as the statue was not entering the temple. Sati loses her way while collecting Parijat flowers in the forest. Sati gets visions of the solution for the statue enterting the temple in Rishi Dadhichi's ashram, whom she meets while finding her way back home. Accordingly, Sati places Shiv's idol in the incomplete Vishnu's statue and the statue enters the temple. Sati becomes emotional when she sees Lord Shiv for the first time.

When Shiva reveals himself in all his glory, Prajapati Daksh mocks him and claims he is superior. Shiva vows to destroy his arrogance. Daksh turns on Sati and blames her for the dishonour Shiva caused him. He asks her to choose between obedience to her father and her devotion to Shiva.

After announcing punishment for Sati, Prajapati Daksh decides to punish the sculptor who made the shivaling. He is unmoved even as his wife Prasuti pleads in Sati’s favour. Sati’s sisters are concerned that she may not be able to fulfil the conditions of her punishment.

Sati has to travel far to gather one lakh lotuses and write Vishnu’s name on them as part of her punishment. Meanwhile, the sculptors gather to beg Daksh’s forgiveness but he expels all of them from his kingdom. Saddened, they turn to leave, when Maharishi Dadichi arrives in the royal court.

Maharishi Dadhichi asks Prajapati Daksh not to be so cruel towards the sculptors. But Daksh asks him not to interfere in a king’s decisions. At this point, an exhausted Sati returns to the palace and faints. Is Prajapati Daksh moved by his daughter’s condition?

Sati’s sister Khyati pleads with Saptarishi Bhrigu to stop her father from punishing Sati further. Prasuti also tries to make Daksh change his mind. But the Prajapati vows revenge on Shiva for using Sati to humiliate him. Meanwhile, Sati has a vision that leaves her mesmerised.

Seeing Shiva's aura,Sati wakes up from a dream clueless about the hidden significance of it. A perplexed Sati shares about her dream with Aaditi unable to hide her curiosity. As Sati describes about seeing a faint picture of an Ardhanarishvara, Aaditi calms her down. On the other hand, King Daksh hides his emotions for his daughter behind his traits of being a Prajapati. While in search of lotuses, Sati meets the sculptor community and fails to avert the strong presence of Shiva.

Narad Muni arrives in the court of Prajapati Daksh, just as he announces that his literature will completely ignore Shiva. Narad Muni asks Sati about including Shiva in her father’s Vishnu sculpture. Sati says it was a mistake. Narad then leaves for Kailash, where Shiva is in deep meditation.

Narad conveys the news from Daksh’s court to Shiva. Shiva is aware of Narad’s plan and says he cannot be tied down by Grihastha. Narad leaves, telling Nandi that Sati will change all that. Sati, meanwhile, is still troubled by the visions of Ardhanarishwara and decides to forego her sleep.

Sati is trapped in a forest during a storm. Thoughts of Shiva continue to trouble her. Agitated, she demands that Shiva should stop occupying her thoughts and declares that she will not let him conquer her or her father. She returns to the palace and vows to finish her task.

Sati begs her father’s forgiveness for Shiva’s name on the lotuses and asks him to give her a harsher punishment. But he forgives her and asks her to take over the arrangements of the spring festival. Then, Nandi appears and worships Sati. What will happen if Prajapati Daksh sees him?

Daksh is angry when he sees Nandi worshipping Sati. She, too, is surprised to learn that Nandi is Lord Shiva's vehicle. In Kailash, Nandi describes Devi Sati to Shiva. He tells Nandi about his Vairagya and that the Grihastha’s life is not for him.

Sati weeps before her father and wonders why Nandi and Shiva are pursuing her. Daksh tells her she must never fear anything, because she is the daughter of the all-powerful Prajapati. He decides to show her how even the five elements obey him.

Daksh convinces Sati that Shiva and his followers have been using her to try and get to the Prajapati, because he is all-powerful. Meanwhile in Kailash, Kan and Pret criticise Nandi for having brought the lotuses with Shiva’s name on them. Then, Sati finds a lotus in the palace garden.

Narad Muni reports to Shiva about the events in Prajapati Daksh’s kingdom. Daksh is planning a gathering of the Mahasabha and wants Chandrama to be present. Chandrama’s father Rishi Atri agrees that he should go. What role will Chandrama play in the union of Shiva and Sati?

Daksh announces his desire to destroy Shiva. In Kailash, Nandi goes running to tell Shiva that the sculptor community, descendants of Vishwakarma, have been thrown out by Daksh. Shiva gives them shelter. The sculptors thank Shiva but ask if he would protect Sati, too.

Daksh punishes the sculptor and his family. Laxmi is upset with Daksh for the punishment he has given Sati. Sati's sister expresses her concern about Sati fulfilling her promise.

Daksh announces his decision to invite Shiva to his Mahayagna. In Kailash, Nandi is distressed that every spring season, Shiva retires to the cremation grounds and goes into the ‘samadhi’ state. Narad Muni then explains to him why Shiva does what he does.

Narad Muni tells Nandi about Shakti’s connection to Shiva’s Samadhi state. Nandi wants to know if they will be reunited and Narad Muni assures him it will all be revealed in time. But Shiva fumes when Nandi asks him about Sati.

Narad Muni decides that it’s time for Shiva and Sati to meet. He creates a situation by singing so badly that a group of singers who are travelling to the Spring Festival lose consciousness. Narad then calls Shiva to come and save them. Will Shiva oblige?

Mahadev arrives on earth and sings a raga that revives the group of singers. Sati, who has gone to fetch water for the yagna, also hears the song and begins to dance. When Mahadev sees her stand before him, he vanishes. Narad Muni says his singing was for the betterment of the universe.

When Sati returns to the palace, the singers speak about the magic of Mahadev’s music. Sati confesses that it has had a great effect on her. Meanwhile, dancer Madanike is invited for the Vasant Utsav. She takes one look at Sati and makes a surprising deduction.

Madanike insists that Sati has fallen in love, which Sati denies. Meanwhile, Rishi Dadhichi reaches Kailash and extends an invitation for Daksh’s yagna. Mahadev turns him down, saying he has no need for the ways of Mahamandals. Will the rishis be able to change his mind?
