The film begins with a King having two wives. The elder Satyavati is an ardent devotee of Parvati and names her daughter Bala Gauri. The second Satyabhama begrudges and poisons the two when Satyavati dies, but the goddess secures Gowri. Years roll by and Gauri is raised with the same adoration for the goddess. Satyabhama now knits her with a lunatic and assigns the task to gardener Thantalu. Anyhow, true-blue Thantalu tricks to bar it. Fortuitously, he is acquainted with Prince Balaveera. Being conscious of the plight, Balaveera oaths to wed Gauri lands in disguise form and splices her. Soon after, a dreadful secret is revealed regarding Balaveera. In his childhood, his father Satyavrata broke an anoint pot on the idol when Siva curses that the lifespan of his son is equal to the number of pieces that the bank. Here, a conflict arises between Siva & Parvati, one to destroy the other to shield Balaveera. Siva sends his snake to hit Balaveera, but Parvati transforms it into a barbaric Bhujanga. However, Bhujanga gets the power of Trishul and returns in search of Balaveera. Then Gauri & Balaveera descend to the forest. A tribal king, Durjaya, captures them, throws Balaveera into the river, and holds Gauri. In the palace, Bhujanga traces Gauri and retrieves her. Parallelly, Balaveera is guarded by a saint who guides him for penance, which he does, and he acquires a weapon, Chandrayudham. As of now, Bhujangam seeks to remove the wedding chain of Gauri; soon, Balaveera lands and the war erupts. Ultimately, Balaveera throws Bhujangam into the fire when he becomes a snake and bites him again. Infuriated, Gauri throttles its neck when Siva & Parvati appear and make Balaveera live. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
