''Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev'' is the story of the Hindu God [[Shiva]], also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. The show started with the tale of thehis marriage ofwith [[Sati to Shiva(goddess)|Sati]].
 
Sati who is the daughter of [[Prajapati]] [[Daksha]], a staunch [[Vishnu]] devotee, is drawn towards Shiva 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 Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces [[Virabhadra]], 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 Great Goddess [[Adi shaktiShakti]].
 
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 Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.
 
Shiva and Parvati give birth to [[Murugan|Kartikeya]], who slays the demon [[Tarakasura]] and his brothers. 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. Shiva destructed it to kill the sons of asuras as they were promoting iniquity. Soon after the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashokasundari is born.
