==Summary==
The show's plot revolve around the story of [[Lord Shiva]]. This story of Lord Shiva traces his journey from being an ascetic to a family man.

During the creation of the world by Lord Brahma, [[Adi Parashakti|Adi Shakti]] leaves Shiva from his [[Ardhanarishvara]] form. So to shape the universe she takes various births to marry Shiva but failed 106 times due to which Shiva becomes an ascetic. Hence [[Lord Brahma]] suggests his mind-born son Prajapati Daksh please Adi Shakti and ask her to incarnate as his daughter.

She takes birth as Daksh's daughter [[Sati (Hindu goddess)|Sati]]. Meanwhile, Shiva cuts Brahma's fifth head making Daksh hate him. Sati falls for Shiva and finally marries him, much to Daksh's dismay. Hence, Daksh humiliates Shiva in front of Sati in his yagna. Sati being unable to tolerate this, sacrifices her life once again. So, Shiva orders [[Virabhadra]] to behead Daksh but later revive him on Prasuti's request and Shiva goes into deep meditation for centuries.

Adi Shakti later incarnates as [[Parvati]], daughter of the Himalayas who meditates for 3000 years to please Mahadev to marry her. And finally, Mahadev and Parvati married. Later, Mahadev imparts some tantric knowledge to Parvati that helps her to take various forms like Nav Durga (Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidhatri); [[Mahavidyas]] (Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Tripura Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala) and [[Matrikas]] (Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Maheshvari, Indrani, Kaumari, Varahi, Chamunda, Narasimhi, Vinayaki) to destroy various demons like [[Raktabija]], [[Mahishasura]], Shumbha Nishumbha, Chanda Munda, Durgmasura, Arunasura, [[Banasura]], etc. Later, Shiva and Parvati extend their family to [[Karthikeyan]], [[Ganesha]] and [[Ashokasundari|Ashok Sundari]].

The show also includes various forms of Mahadev including Virabhadra, Swami Adiyogi, [[Aghori]], [[Bhoothnath]], Vaidynaath, Bhairav, Rishabh, Pashupatinath, Kaal Bhairav, Baba Lokhnath, Shambhu, Nat Bhairav, Natraja, Martand, etc. in order to maintain sustainability in the universe, teaching humans moral values and slaying various [[asuras]] like [[Jalandhara]], [[Andhak]], Apasmarg, Vritrasura, Bhasmasura, Tripura, Shankachura, Nigaas, etc. The show also covers various folk stories of Lord Shiva to teach people moral values and ways to get [[moksha]] in the [[Kali Yuga]].
