| |
| | |
| == Plot ==
| |
| The show portrays the ''Leelas'' of the Hindu goddess [[Adi Parashakti]], the wife of Lord [[Shiva]] and (sister of Lord Shree [[Vishnu]] in her avatars as Goddesses [[Sati (Hindu goddess)|Sati]] and later [[Parvati]]). The story begins with Shiva's questions on The Self and how he discovers that it was the Supreme Goddess Adi Parashakti who created him, Vishnu, and [[Brahma]].
| |
| | |
| She reveals herself after Shiva destroys Brahma's arrogance; and imparts true wisdom of who She is to the Tridevas. She then assumes three different forms: [[Saraswati]] - who weds Brahma, [[Lakshmi]] - who weds Vishnu and [[Shakti]] - who becomes Shiva's beloved and resides with them in their respective abodes.
| |
| | |
| The show then solely focuses on Shakti's journey from Kailasha to Earth as Sati, the daughter of [[Daksha]], who, prompted by his daughter [[Diti]], separates Shiva and Shakti. After Sati discovers Shiva, who Daksha disapproves of and abhors, she falls in love with him. He gives up Sati and she moves to Kailasha where she marries Shiva. In an attempt to humiliate Shiva and Sati, Daksha performs a Yagya inviting the residents of all the realms, with the sole exceptions being the residents of Kailasha. Sati, however, goes to the Yagya, is humiliated, and immolates herself in the presence of all those gathered. Angry, Shiva and Shakti kill Daksha, thus avenging Sati by assuming the terrible forms of [[Veerabhadra]] and [[Bhadrakali]]. Later on, Daksha is resurrected, Sati's body is cut up into fifty-two pieces - which becomes [[Shakti Peetha]]s, and a sorrowful Shiva self-isolates in the caves of the Himalayas.
| |
| | |
| In due course of time, an Asura named [[Tarakasura]], a son of Diti, obtains a boon from Brahma that he would only be killed by an offspring of Shiva. Thinking of himself as immortal in light of Shiva becoming a hermit after Sati's death, he displaces the Devas, the mortal enemies of the Asuras. At the behest of Vishnu, the Devi takes birth once again as [[Parvati]], the daughter of the Himalayas. She too, just like in her previous life as Sati, falls in love with Shiva. She finds him in the caves of her father's kingdom and sits at his feet, meditating upon him. In a rush to awaken Shiva so that he would fall in love with Devi again and have a son who could kill Tarakasura, the Devas deploy [[Kama]], the God of Love, who is burnt to ashes by Shiva for disturbing his trance.
| |
| | |
| Shiva, although aware of Parvati's devotion and love towards him, behave indifferently to her. When she tries to speak to him, he informs her that only after she passed some of his tests would she obtain the desire of her heart. Parvati takes him on his challenge, and Shiva puts her through various trials, in Kashi and in Kailasha, all of which she passes, impressing Shiva, who agrees to marry her.
| |
| | |
| Their After Marriage is threatened by the demon duos Shumbha and Nishumbha. Shumbha, son of Diti, fells in love with Parvati And he ordered his demon force to bring her to the netherworld. Angered Parvati channels into Kali Devi, her untamed warrior form. She destroys many demons. After many plots made by the demon brothers, Parvati learns about who is she actually. She takes Katyayani Devi's Form and kills Mahishasur in order to save Dev Lok Strees. As Mother Kaushiki She killed Nishumbha and in her original divine form she killed Shumbha which made a shock to Diti.
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, Tarakasura threatened the devas by capturing Deva Lok. So Parvati and Shiva Makes a penance and give birth to a child. The Shakthi took its form as Kartikeya after a lot of struggles made by Tarakasura and Bhandasura. Finally, Kartikeya learns the art of fight and kills Tarakasura.
| |
| | |
| Diti realises her mistakes and finally surrenders to Devi. Everyone assemble in Kailash where the devas including Shiva, [[Vishnu]] and Brahma and the demons including Diti took Maha Aarti to Devi. The show happily ended with [[Devi]] finally showing her original form of [[Adhiparasakthi|Adhi Para Shakthi]] and gives blessings to everyone .
