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.
