The show's plot revolves around the story of Lord [[Shiva]], which follows 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.
During the creation of the world according to Lord [[Vishnu]] and Lord [[Brahma]], Adi Parashakti leaves Shiva from his [[Ardhanarishvara]] form. In order to shape the universe, she takes various births to marry Shiva but fails 106 times due to which Shiva becomes an ascetic. Hence Lord Brahma suggests his mind-born son Prajapati Daksh to please Adi Shakti and request 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 Parashakti is born the 107th time as Daksh's daughter [[Sati (Hindu goddess)|Sati]]. Meanwhile, Shiva cuts off 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. Unable to tolerate her husband's insult, Sati sacrifices her life once again. An infuriated Shiva orders [[Virabhadra]] to behead Daksh. Later, he revives him at Prasuti's request and 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]].
Adi Parashakti then is born as [[Parvati]] the 108th time as the daughter of Himavan and his wife Menavati. She is aware of her divinity as are her parents, and grows up in Dadichi's hermitage. From an early age, she starts addressing Mahadev/Shiva as her husband which Menavati, as a concerned mother, dislikes strongly.
 
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]]. The supreme God protects common people from evil demons and uncompassionate rulers by taking various avatars in human form. The story of twelve [[Jyotirlinga]] is also shown completely.
When she grows up, Parvati tries to make Mahadev realize that she is none other than his wife Sati reincarnated. But he rejects her and in the process, turns Kamadev into ashes. As a result, Kama's distraught wife, Rati curses Parvati.
 
Parvati then agrees to marry as per her mother, Menavati's wish. However eventually Parvati and Himavan make Menavati realise who Parvati is, after which she gives in. Parvati goes on to meditate for 3,000 years to please Mahadev to marry her. And finally, Mahadev and Parvati are married. Later, Mahadev imparts some tantric knowledge to Parvati that helps her to take various forms like Nav Durga; [[Mahavidyas]] (Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Tripura Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala) and [[Matrikas]] to destroy Raktabeej, Shumbha Nishumbha, Chanda Munda, Durgmasura, Arunasura, Banasura, etc.

Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev (transl.Lord of the Lords… Mahadev), often abbreviated as DKDM, is a series based on Mahadev, one of the main deities of Hinduism.[1] It premiered on 18 December 2011, airing Monday to Friday nights on Life OK. The 820-episode series concluded on 14 December 2014. The entire series has been made available on Disney+ Hotstar and Hulu.[2]

Plot[edit | edit source]

The show's plot revolves around the story of Lord Shiva, which follows his journey from being an ascetic to a family man.

During the creation of the world according to Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma, Adi Parashakti leaves Shiva from his Ardhanarishvara form. In order to shape the universe, she takes various births to marry Shiva but fails 106 times due to which Shiva becomes an ascetic. Hence Lord Brahma suggests his mind-born son Prajapati Daksh to please Adi Shakti and request her to incarnate as his daughter.

Adi Parashakti is born the 107th time as Daksh's daughter Sati. Meanwhile, Shiva cuts off 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. Unable to tolerate her husband's insult, Sati sacrifices her life once again. An infuriated Shiva orders Virabhadra to behead Daksh. Later, he revives him at Prasuti's request and goes into deep meditation for centuries.

Adi Parashakti then is born as Parvati the 108th time as the daughter of Himavan and his wife Menavati. She is aware of her divinity as are her parents, and grows up in Dadichi's hermitage. From an early age, she starts addressing Mahadev/Shiva as her husband which Menavati, as a concerned mother, dislikes strongly.

When she grows up, Parvati tries to make Mahadev realize that she is none other than his wife Sati reincarnated. But he rejects her and in the process, turns Kamadev into ashes. As a result, Kama's distraught wife, Rati curses Parvati.

Parvati then agrees to marry as per her mother, Menavati's wish. However eventually Parvati and Himavan make Menavati realise who Parvati is, after which she gives in. Parvati goes on to meditate for 3,000 years to please Mahadev to marry her. And finally, Mahadev and Parvati are married. Later, Mahadev imparts some tantric knowledge to Parvati that helps her to take various forms like Nav Durga; Mahavidyas (Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Tripura Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala) and Matrikas to destroy Raktabeej, Shumbha Nishumbha, Chanda Munda, Durgmasura, Arunasura, Banasura, etc.
