A Rudraksha bead from Shiva’s arm-band falls to earth and is found by Sati. It leads her to the Rishis, who tell her that the Vishnu idol being created by her father is incomplete without a shivaling. Sati installs the shivaling, which angers King Prajapati Daksh. She then tries to summon Mahadev.
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.
Daksh punishes the sculpturer and his family for sculpting Shivling. Laxmi is upset on Daksh for the elusive punishment he gave to Sati. Sati's sister expresses her concern about the fulfillment of Sati's promise, to which she tells her that she would give her life if she fails to endure the punishment.
Khyati and Aaditi try to help Sati fulfill the arduous punishment given by Daksh. But, Sati is adamant that she would face the difficulties coming in her way all alone. Sati, with her two maids, Jaya and Niyati set out in search lotuses. In the courtroom, the sculptor community assembles to seek for an apology from Daksh. But, an arrogant Daksh dispels the entire community from his kingdom. Rishi Dadhichi enters the courtroom with his disciples.
As Rishi Dadhichi enters the courtroom with his disciples, Daksh condemns his ways of interfering and influencing a king's decision. Rishi Dadhichi disapproves of Daksh's thinking telling him about the atrocities that his decision will have on the sculptor community. Rishi Dadhichi announces to look after the dispelled community of the sculptors. A drained out Sati faints as she enters the courtroom but, a stone-hearted Daksh rebukes to show any leniency towards her.
Khyati pleads Sapta Rishi Bhrigu to talk to her father about subjugating the crudity of Sati's punishment. A displeased Prasuti tries to bring alive the caring father hidden behind King Daksh's heartless principles. But, Daksh dismisses her pleas as he is too immersed in his plans to destroy Shiva's existence. Goddess Lakshmi reminds the Gods about Daksh's daughter, Sati , a descendant of Goddess Shakti, who will become Shiva's consort.
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.
A strong headed Prajapati Daksh addresses his assembly and tells them about his literature name Daksh Sahitya. The Sahitya will have components of life's betterment and would be talking about only the creators of the universe like Brahma and Vishnu unlike the destroyers Shiva. Soon the wanderer Narad Muni comes to the assembly of King Daksh. Being to his original self Narad tries instigating Sati about the punishment.As Narad leaves for Kailash Parvat to meet Shiva,Kana and Pret stops him.
Narad Muni, very fond of carrying gossips, relays King Daksh's ploys before Lord Shiva. Shiva, well-aware of Vishnu's endeavours to get him tangled in the grihastha jeevan, says that he is free from the bonds of any relation and is content and complete.Sati is displeased with herself as she could not take out the Ardhanarishwara sight out of her mind and decides to give off her sleep if her dreams still make her ponder about Shiva.
Heavy rainstorm traps Sati in the dense forest. Khyati and Aditi get worried about Sati and decide to inform King Daksh about the same. But, seeing Daksh occupied offering prayers, Khyati with Aditi set out alone in search of their sister, Sati. Lord Shiva's thoughts again knock at Sati's mind as she spots the Belpatra- the leaves lying in the forest. Tired of the hide and seek game with Shiva's thoughts, an agitated Sati demands Shiva to stop bothering her in her thoughts.
Sati's deteriorating condition and her obstinate attitude towards fulfilling her punishment becomes a concern for Prasuti. On Prasuti's request, Daksh decides to relieve Sati of the elusiveness of the punishment, but Sati informs him about fulfilling the task given to her. An elated Daksh boasts of being a proud father saying that he knew that Sati would never let down his principles. The world comes crashing for Daksh as he spots Lord Shiva's name written on the lotuses.
Daksh, taking the blame on himself for being excessively hard-hearted, praises Sati for her dedication towards fulfilling the punishment. Getting Sati involved in the arrangements for the spring festival, Daksh tells Bhrigu about his intentions behind forgiving Sati. On being questioned by Prasuti, Daksh clears his stand says that he will decide Sati's fate. As ordered by Daksh, when the maids go to dispose the lotuses with Shiva's name, Nandi walks into the palace disguising his real identity.
Seeing Nandi greeting Sati, Daksh loses his temper. Listening to Rishi Kashyap about Nandi being Lord Shiva's carrier, Sati gets jolted and runs to meet Prajapati Daksh. Nandi, on the other hand describes Devi Sati to Shiva. Lord Shiva clears to Nandi about him being a follower of Vairagya and will not be involving into a Grihastha life. Clueless about things, Sati rushes to meet Daksh to clear the misconception of she being related to Shiva.
As Sati weeps fearing Daksh's ire, Prajapati Daksh dismisses her worries. Daksh, blinded by his powers, boasts of being the most powerful man on the earth. In Kailash, Pret and Kan laugh at Nandi for his useless attempts to drag Lord Shiva's attention towards Devi Sati. Nandi brashes them saying that his attempts would not go in waste. Showing off his power, Daksh proves to Sati that she shouldn't fear anyone as even the most powerful five elements of the earth cannot defeat him.
Displaying his mightiness to Sati, Daksh explains her the reason behind Shiva and his disciples targetting her. On the other hand, Lord Shiva restfully watches the Lotuses brought to the Kailash by Nandi. Pret and Gan get their turn to influence Lord Shiva's mind. Sati admits to Aaditi that she got carried away with the images and those dreams but, everything was surreal. But, Sati's fate, which has aleady been written, again walk upto her in the form of the lotuses.
Known for relaying gossips, Narad Muni goes to Kailash and finds Lord Shiva admiring the Lotus with his name inscribed on it. Talking about Daksh's Mahasabha, Narad comments on Daksh's new stratagem. On Prasuti and Sapta Rishi Bhrigu's enquiry, Daksh hides his intentions behind calling the Mahasabha. Maharshi Atri and Anusuya are worried with Daksh's call for Chandrama to his Mahasabha. Rishi Dadhichi becalms them informing about Chandrama becoming the medium of Shiva and Shakti's union.
With arrogance taken over Prajapati Daksh, he challenges Lord Shiva's power to stop him from demolishing Shiva's name, his ideology and his existence. A distressed Nandi comes running to Mahadev informing him about Daksh out-casting the descendants of the Lord Vishwakarma. Huddled together, the sculptor community is diffident about coming to Kailash. But, all their apprehensions disappear as Lord Shiva himself welcomes them to Kailash and proposes to have food with them. A question asked by the sculptor's head about Devi Sati to Lord Shiva leaves Shiva speechless.
Sensing Revati's silence, Sati enquires about her distressed state. Trying to hide her worries, Revati, finally admits the dejections that she has been facing in her married life. Prasuti overhears Revati and Sati's conversation and assures her that she would speak to Chandrama. Sati proposes an idea to meliorate Revati and Chandrama's relation during the Spring festival celebrations. Rohini, on the other hand, unaware of Revati's plight, impatiently awaits Chandrama to return from the Mahasabha. Daksh announces the reason behind calling the Mahasabha. Devraj Indra expresses his concern over Shukracharya meditating to incur the ultimate Sanjivani Shakti from Lord Shiva. As Rishi Kashyap defends Lord Shiva's stand, Daksh's announcement of calling Lord Shiva as a special guest in the Mahasabha surprises everyone.
Daksh announces about inviting Mahadev to his Mahayagya to be organized after ten days. Rishi Bhrigu assures Maharishi Atri and Anusuya to take Daksh's invitation to Mahadev personally and ensure that he joins the Mahayagya. Nandi is distressed over Mahadev becoming an ascetic and meditating in the cremation grounds. Narad Muni throws light over the reason behind Shiva choosing the life of a renounced.
Nandi realizes Mahadev's reason of being desolated as he was separated from Sati. Nandi pleads to Narad Muni to tell him about the reunion of Lord Shiva and Devi Sati but, Narad cleverly answers to his query saying that Lord Vishnu, himself wants Mahadev to come out of his vairagya. Revati gets hurt when Chandrama ignores her in front of everyone. Daksh hand overs the responsibility of Spring Festival on the shoulders of Chandrama. Mahadev outcries at Nandi when Nandi mentions about Narad's information.
Thinking about Shiva's and Sati's reunion, Narad Muni spots Sati going towards the forests. He ploys to call Lord Shiva to the earth, so that he could meet Sati. As planned, Narad, purposefully sings in a cacophonic voice causing the group of singers to lose their consciousness. Sati, also gets disturbed listening to this hard voice. Seeing the poor condition of the singers, Narad pleads Mahadev to come. As Narad Muni calls for help, Mahadev appears before him.
Mahadev sings a melodious raga to control the damage done by Narad Muni to the group of the singers. Sati is surprisingly mesmerized listening to this melodious raga. As if hypnotised by Shiva's song, Sati walks towards his direction. Attracted completely to the rhythm of Mahadev's raga, Sati dances to the song. Seeing Sati standing before himself, Lord Shiva leaves. Sati is in shock, unable to understand her state of mind. Narad Muni is elated seeing his cacophony work well.
Khyati and Aaditi impatiently await Sati's arrival pondering over the reason of her delay. Sati walks into the palace with the group of Raga and the Ragini's. The Raga and the Ragini's talk about the magic created by Mahadev's song in the jungle and Sati getting attracted towards it. A furious Khyati erupts in anger accusing Sati for being callous towards her father's feelings and reputation. A hapless Sati bursts out accepting getting swayed away to the magical raga played by Lord Shiva.
Being the daughter of a staunch Lord Vishnu Devotee, Sati dismisses Mahadev's thoughts from her mind ignoring Madanike's remarks. Madanike senses the growing love in Sati's heart. Rishi Dadhichi, along with Maharishi Atri and Maharishi Kashyap reach Kailash to invite Lord Shiva to Daksh's Mahayagya. Snubbing the proposal, Mahadev puts across his vistas for leading a contented life which does not need any Mahamandal meeting. But, later he agrees to grace the Mahayagya with his presence.
Accepting Prajapati Daksh's invitation to the Mahamandal, Mahadev takes the accountability on himself of the outcome of Daksh's Mahasabha. An anxious Indra presages Shukracharya's contriving against the deities but, Daksh brushes aside Indra's fears saying that he is always ready for a war. Madanike teases Sati pestering her to reveal the name of her love. Shukracharya, the leader of the asuras prepares to interpose the Mahamandal meeting.
Placing his faith in Vishnu, Daksh assures the gods that he will protect them from Shukracharya’s army of asuras. Daksh asks Chandrama to ensure that the Vasant Utsav goes off well. In Kailash, Mahadev is again displeased with Nandi for talking about Sati.
