	==Plot==		==Plot==
	Once ~~Goddess Parvathi (Kannamba)~~ suspects ~~Lord~~ Shiva, for ~~which she wants to make~~ atonement ~~by making penance~~. So, she ~~reaches to~~ Varanasi, ~~Lord Shiva~~ creates a ~~beautiful~~ garden for her and a foster son ~~by the name~~ Karthavaraya ~~(N. T. Rama Rao) to protect~~. Once Karthavaraya tries to molest ~~one of the ladies (Savitri) who visit there and the~~ lady ~~dies committing suicide~~. ~~Lord Shiva~~ curses Karthavaraya, when ~~Parvathi~~ tries to ~~pacify~~ him, she too ~~receives a curse~~ to ~~take birth~~ on earth. ~~Parvathi comes to earth~~ as Kamakshi ~~along~~ with Karthavaraya as a ~~small~~ baby~~. The girl whom Karthavaraya tried to molest also takes birth to~~ an Arya king ~~by the name Aryamala~~. Karthavaraya grows up ~~among tribals. Once he goes to see~~ his mother; with ~~her blessing he gets~~ the ~~capacity to change to~~ intended forms ~~and starts to tour the country~~. ~~In the tour,~~ he gets acquainted with Aryamala and ~~they fall in love~~. ~~Parvathi says to him~~ that it is ~~not safe~~ to ~~love~~ Aryamala, ~~but Karthavaraya does not listen~~. ~~From that time~~, ~~he goes to~~ the palace in different ~~attires~~ and ~~marries~~ Aryamala ~~in a disguised form of~~ a Brahmin. The Arya King ~~does not accept their relation~~, ~~Karthavaraya is captured by soldiers~~ and ~~in that quarrel,~~ Aryamala is ~~hit very badly~~. Karthavaraya ~~was taken to~~ the ~~punishment area when he is to be impaled~~. ~~Parvathi reaches there~~ and begs ~~the king not to do such a deed. But~~ the King ~~is not ready to listen~~, so, she ~~prays~~ to ~~Lord~~ Siva, ~~who creates~~ an apocalypse~~, by which~~ the ~~entire~~ fort ~~collapses~~. Finally, Karthavaraya ~~and~~ Aryamala ~~are reunited, Parvathi is relieved from her curse and reaches ''Kailasam''~~.		Once, [[Parvati]] suspects her husband [[Shiva\|Siva]] and declares penance for atonement. So, she grounds at [[Varanasi]], where Siva creates a garden for her and a foster son, Karthavaraya as protector. Once Karthavaraya tries to molest a sightseeing lady, she self-sacrifices. At this, Siva curses Karthavaraya when Parvati tries to appease him, so she, too, is blasted to come forth on earth. Now, Parvati arises as Kamakshi, with Karthavaraya as a baby and the lady as Aryamala, the daughter of an Arya king. Karthavaraya grows up in tribes and then proceeds toward his mother, who blesses him with the supernatural power of changing intended forms. He tours when he gets acquainted with Aryamala and the two crushes. Knowing it, Kamakshi alarms her son that it is hazardous to the club with Aryamala, which he deaf ears. Therefrom, Karthavaraya frequently attends the palace in different forms and knits Aryamala as a Brahmin. The Arya King denies it and seizes Karthavaraya, and Aryamala is gravely injured. Hereupon, Karthavaraya is ruthlessly towed and edicts the death penalty. Therein, Kamakshi lands and begs the King for pardon, but in vain. Hence, she flares up with a call to Siva, creating an apocalypse and collapsing the fort. At last, Kamakshi transforms into Parvati and goes back to Kailasam. Finally, the movie ends happily with the fusing of Karthavaraya & Aryamala.
