The show narrates the most famous of these legends, sourced from the [[Puranas]] and the work of well known mythologist [[Devdutt_Pattanaik|Devdutt Pattanaik]],in an episodic fashion. -The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with [[Sati (goddess)|Sati]]. Sati is a partial incarnation of the Supreme Goddess and is born as the daughter of [[Prajapati]] [[Daksha]], who is a staunch devotee of [[Vishnu]]. She is drawn towards Shiva against the will of her father. Shiva and Sati get married and start living in Kailash. Soon after Daksha organises a ''[[yajna]]'' where all the gods except for Shiva are invited. Sati is distraught as this slight, and against Shiva's wishes, journeys to her parental home to question her father. Daksha, drunk on his own power and piety insults Shiva in front of Sati. Torn with remorse on having ignored her divine husband's wishes Sati gives up her body in the fires which emanate from her own body - ''pranagni''. The grief-striken Shiva produces an ''aaveshavatar'' an incarnation of a fierce mood[[Virabhadra]], who slays Daksha. Later, on hearing the prayers of Daksha's wife he restores Daksha's life. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders around the universe. Vishnu with the use of his divine discus dismembers the body into pieces, scattering them on earth.

She is also the sister of the river-goddess, [[Ganges in Hinduism|Ganga]]. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the [[Shaivite]] sage [[Dadhichi]], who instructs her. As Parvati matures, she is captivated by the thought of attaining Shiva himself as her husband. Gradually the memory of her previous birth as Sati awakens in her; and she undertakes the most severe of austerities to please Shiva. He is appeased and they are married in the presence of all the gods and goddesses. @@ -57,150 +55,159 @@ The narrative also relates the destruction of the demon [[Tripura (mythology)|Tripura]], by Shiva who is also called ''Tripurari''.

Narada, in his turn, offers the holy garland to Indra who, accepts the garland by placing it on the trunk of his tusker, [[Airavata]]; intoxicated by the fumes, Airavata tosses the garland and tramples it.

The churning of the ocean is known as [[Samudra manthan|Samudra Manthan]] and is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas employ crafts to disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Lord [[Vishnu]] comes to the aid of the gods and incarnates as a giant turtle, [[Kurma]]. -A myriad range of objects emanate from the churning of the ocean of milk. The very first is the lethal poison known as ''[[Halahala]]''. Its presence puts the world at great risk. Shiva drinks the poison to save the universe from certain destruction, but Parvati comes to his rescue by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, Shiva's neck sports an eternal blue patch and so he is called ''Nilkanth'' (The Blue-Throated One). The churning reveals many precious treasures, such as the Goddess of Wealth herself [[Lakshmi]], who becomes the consort of Vishnu, the divine nymphs, many celestial animals etc. Finally, the divine physician [[Dhanvantari]] emerges carrying the vessel which contains the nectar. He is chased by the demons and gods until Vishnu cunningly cons the demons and distributes the nectar among the gods. +A myriad range of objects emanate from the churning of the ocean of milk.
