Plot

The plot centers around Shiva and brings Hindu theology to life in a series of interconnected stories. The serial begins with the creation of the universe and the other Devas, then guides the viewer through Shiva's marriage to Sati, Sati's death, Shiva's marriage to Parvati, and tales of many devotional acts, demonic battles, and important religious events (such as the creation of the twelve Jyotirlingas). It ends with events covered in the Mahābhārata and the blessing of the hero Arjuna by Shiva.

Sources included Vayu Purana, Shiva Purana, Skanda Purana, Linga Purana, Tantra Churamani, Valmiki Ramayana, Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Vamana Purana, Varaha Purana, Kurma Purana, Rudra Yamala Tantra, Padma Purana, Devi Bhagavata Purana, and Bhagavata Purana.
