'''''Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev''''' is a [[Hindu]] spiritual television [[drama series]] which airs on [[Life OK]] channel. It premiered on 18th 18&nbsp;December, 2011 and showcases the story of Lord [[ShivShiva]], also called as [[Mahadev]].

==Plot==

''Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev'' is the story of the Hindu God [[ShivShiva]], also called as [[Mahadev]]. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.

The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with [[Sati (goddess)|Sati]]. Sati who is the daughter of [[Prajapati]] [[DakshDaksha]], a staunch [[Vishnu]] devotee, is drawn towards ShivShiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the ''[[yajna]]'' of DakshDaksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces [[VeerbhadraVirabhadra]], who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into [[Shakti Peetha]]s, embodiments of the power of the Goddess [[Adi Shakti]].

Sati is reborn as [[Parvati]], the daughter of [[Himavan]], king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, [[Ganges in Hinduism|Ganga]]. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage [[Dadhichi]], who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by ShivShiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.

A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into [[Shakti Peetha]]s, embodiments of the power of the Goddess [[Adi Shakti]].

Shiva and Parvati give birth to [[KartikeyMurugan|Kartikeya]], who slays the demon [[TarakasurTarakasura]] and his brothers. KartikeyKartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of DevDevas but ShivShiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by [[Meenakshi]] and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of [[Tripura (mythology)|Tripura]], belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.

Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage [[Dadhichi]], who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiv. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.

After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord [[Indra]] (the King of [[Deva (Hinduism)|Deva]]s) everyone congratulate ShivShiva for destructing TripurTripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi [[Durvasa]] gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as [[prasadam]]. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, [[Airavata]] to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King [[Mahabali|Bali]] attacks heaven and in attempt to steal ''Amrit[[Amrita]]'' (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the [[Ocean of milk]]. To get the ''Amrit'' back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the ''Amrita'' and to share it among them.

And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.

The churning of the ocean, known as [[Samudra manthan|Samudra Manthan]] is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord [[Vishnu]] also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, [[KurmKurma]].

To get the ''Amrit'' back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the ''Amrita'' and to share it among them.

The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as ''Halahal[[Halahala]]''. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord ShivShiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes [[Lakshmi]], the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the ''AmritAmrita'' secretly from the AsurAsuras and distributes it among the DevDevas.

The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that KartikeyKartikeya has been removed from the post of ''Senapati'' (head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time, after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets KartikeyKartikeya. KartikeyKartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she is inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.
