Plot summary
Bhuvaneshwari (Commonly called as Bhuvi or sowparnika) goes to Bengaluru (Bangalore) to work as a temporary lecturer to pay off her family's debts and expects her friend Varudhini (also called Varu) to help. Varu runs a company named Saptapadhi, which performs wedding ceremonies. Varu meets Harsha at his cousin Aadhi's wedding and immediately falls in love. Aadhi's fiancé Sania's parents ask Rathnamala for a huge share in their property, which Rathnamala reluctantly agrees to. After the marriage, Rathnamala leaves for Sidagnoor Devi Darshan on a bus traveling through her home village Hasirupete. Bhuvi, who returned to Hasirupete after she helped at Aadhi's wedding, finds Ratnamala injured by a snake bite. Bhuvi takes Rathnamala to her home, who is impressed by Bhuvi's hospitality and kindness. Bhuvi and Rathnamala become close.
Rathnamala returns to Bengaluru and offers a Kannada lecturer post to Bhuvi and helps Bhuvi find a house to rent. Bhuvi and Harsha's paths cross many times. Bhuvi looks after Harsha at her home when he is sick for a few days. Rathnamala's doctor reveals to her that she does not have long to live. Rathnamala wants Harsha to marry Bhuvi; the two are share a mutual attraction, but Harsha has doubts about her idealism in his practical world while Bhuvi hides her feelings by claiming they are just friends. Varudhini and her desire for Harsha starts increasing gradually. Later at Varu's birthday, Varu expresses that her inspiration is Harsha and hugs him. Bhuvi notices this and cries very much. after a few days and constant meetings, Harsha realises his love for Bhuvi but decides not to tell it to Bhuvi as he wants the expression of love from Bhuvi's side. he also challenges his sister Suchitra (Suchi) about the same.
Suchi and Bindu try multiple ways to make Bhuvi and Harsha express their love for each other. Meanwhile, Sania, who wants to own the entire mala institute and to oust Harsha from the company, she plants drugs in Harsha's room on Ratnamala's birthday. She tells everything to Varu and Varu takes those drugs from Harsha's room and keeps it in Sania's room. Sania who is alerted by the same again hides them somewhere and in order to save Harsha, Varu keeps them in her own bag. later, Pooja, a jouralist who is present at the party, calls the police and Varu is held for those drugs. Varu is arrested and harsha, Bhuvi tries multiple ways to bail Vau and prove her innocence. After a few days, a deepavali function is held in a temple where Suchi and Bindu tie Harsha's shalya and Bhuvi's saree. Even after multiple attempts the shalya did not come and Bhuvi keeps the same with her. Harsha claims that he loves Bhuvi in front of ratnamala. The same night, Bhuvi gets a dream where her father is bitten by a snake and she gets panicked. She decides a short visit to hasirupete to visit her father.

Soon after reaching Bangalore , Bhuvi and Harsha together release varudhini from jail. Varu being close to Harsha makes Bhuvi sad as she thinks both of them love eachother but it is just one sided love from varu's side. Many instances come where Harsha and Bhuvi come close to eachother , spend time, protect eachother but never express their love for eachother. Few days later Harsha gets a tattoo on him as 'havi' and Harsha keeps this as a secret. But arshitha (harsha's p a) informs Varu of the same which indulges vai to get a tattoo of letter 'H'.after Varu gets her tattoo she calls harsha for a dinner date where she asks Harsha about his tattoo.she thinks he has the tattoo of her name. This makes harsha angry and he scolds Varu and leaves, leaving her alone to sobe.varu goes to an emotional turmoil and does not speak to anyone. Some time later ratnamala gets admitted in the hospital where bhuvi and Harsha are tensed and they console eachother to stay strong.

Few days later Sanya taunts harsha regarding his love and varudhini. Harsha is shocked to know that Varu likes him and the next day with bhuvi's help and suggestions he tells Varu in a soft tone that he doesn't like her and wouldn't even in the future. Finally without delays, Harsha informs Varu about his mindset that he doesn't love her and he likes her just as a friend. Harsha ended up with accepting a business idea by Varu that ties up his company and her company to strengthen their friendship. On the other hand Harsha has a idea to improve company and asks help of Bhuvi . They both visit that place and had a good time.
