edit

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom called Mahendra Puram. Its King, Raja Shekara, dotes on his sibling, Uma Sundari. Queen Neelaveni aspires to knit Uma with her green sibling Alankar Bhupathi. Uma loves and splices her beloved Vijayarayalu, the King of Raya Durgam; it grudges Neelaveni and seeks vengeance. Time passes, and Uma Sundari is blessed with seven children. Meanwhile, Raya Durgam hits with a cataclysmic drought. Uma looks for her brother's aid, which fails as per Neelaveni's wile. Currently, the public affronts Uma as doom, and she quits with her children. Parallelly, Raja Shekara discerns his sister's plight and proceeds. Devastated, Vijaya Rayulu accuses Raja Shekara and leaves the fort. At Mahendra Puram, Neelaveni scorns Uma when she drowns her children in a well out of hunger and anguish. After returning, Raja Shekara is aware of Neelaveni's ruse when she commits suicide. At the same time, Vijayarayalu becomes an insane & wanderer when Siva appears as a beggar, guides him to reach his wife, and retrieves their children & kingdom.
