Episode 1 – Sati finds a Rudraksh, sparking her connection to Mahadev.
Mohit Raina as Mahadev, Mouni Roy as Sati, and Sonarika Bhadoria (later Pooja Bose and Suhasi Dhami) as Parvati.
This phase establishes the cosmology of the show and Shiva’s first great love story.
The series is structured around significant mythological events and "Leelas" of Lord Shiva.
Parvati grows up knowing her destiny is to unite with Mahadev. However, Shiva, lost in the grief of Sati, does not notice her. This launches the iconic arc of Parvati’s severe penance. She renounces her royal comforts and survives harsh elements to prove her devotion.
