Plot

Once, Parvati suspects her husband 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.
