Narsingh Killedar, a powerful and experienced politician, was still struggling with the pain of losing his wife. She had passed away very recently, leaving behind their teenage daughter Amruta. Despite his grief, Narsingh harbored a strong ambition - to become the Chief Minister in the upcoming elections. However, his dreams were shattered by a shocking prophecy. Bhavani Mai, a woman known for her foresight, predicted that Narsingh wouldn't even live to see the elections. This threw Narsingh into a deep mental turmoil.
But there was a glimmer of hope. A solution was proposed - a way to avoid this terrible fate. Apparently, Narsingh needed to marry an unmarried virgin. This presented a whole new challenge for Krushna Aatya, Narsinha's aunt. Finding a young woman willing to marry a man of Narsingh's age, especially amidst such unusual circumstances, seemed like an impossible task. Krushna Aatya's initial attempts to find a suitable candidate proved unsuccessful.
Then, fate intervened. A poor villager, burdened by financial difficulties, left his young daughter, Janaki, at the doorstep of the Killedar family. Krushna Aatya saw Janaki as the answer to their prayers. Janaki, unaware of the true reason behind her sudden inclusion in the household, seemed like the perfect fit for Narsinha's second marriage. However, this decision would set in motion a series of events that would change the lives of everyone involved, particularly Janaki, who was about to be thrust into a world far different from the one she knew.
