Plot summary
Years ago, Deva and Vardha are close companions in Khansaar, the city-state governed by Vardha's father, Raja Mannar. When Raja Mannar has the Shouryaanga tribe destroyed, a mob comes for Deva and his mother; to save them both, Vardha hands the mob's leader a stretch of valuable territory and secretly sends the pair out of Khansaar, and Deva promises to come back whenever Vardha calls. In 2017, Aadhya, Krishnakanth's daughter, comes to Varanasi from New York City to immerse her mother's ashes there. Obulamma, an aide to Radha Rama, Vardha's step-sister, orders her abducted, so Krishnakanth turns to Bilal, who hides Aadhya in Tinsukia at the home of his friend Deva, where she teaches at the school Deva's mother runs.
