Generations of the Rayulu family have struggled to reinstate the idol in the temple but were unable to do so. After few generations, Veera Narasimha Rayalu ([[Jagapati Babu]]) a powerful village leader of same dynasty want to finish the ancient ritual, which is critical, to the well-being of his village. Veera Narasimha Rayalu changes his name to Naga Penchalayya being the process of the ritual, but he has been killed by his own uncle ([[Kota Srinivasa Rao]]) and his cousin brother Viswanadha Rayulu ([[Adithya (actor)|Adithya Menon]]) to conquer his position and property. The ritual remains incomplete So, his wife Lakshmi ([[Priyamani]]) decides to continue the process, changes herself as Naga Penchalamma to complete the ritual as her husband's last wish.
