Plot

Dugga is a simple village girl who is an ardent devotee of Maa Durga. She lives in an ancient Durgeshwari temple at Ishwaripur. Goddess Durgeshwari guards the temple herself. The temple is also famous for the secret presence of an ancient transcript Vabishya varati by which one can control anyone's fortune. In spite of many constraints, Dugga gets the right over temple for worship and meets Omkar in a series of events.

Omkar, a talented astrologer, the real heir to the famous Roychowdhury family in Kolkata, is tortured by his aunt Ujjaini(a fake astrologer) and uncle Kinkar after accidental death of Omkar's parents, for keeping him mentally unstable to suppress his talent. Oneday, Ujjaini comes to know about the famous Vabishya varati transcript and wants to exploit it for power after Omkar marries Dugga. She goes to the temple but is attacked by Dugga. So she tries to destroy the temple including Dugga and Omkar but her plan backfires and she becomes paralysed. Meanwhile, Kinkar calls Damini (the first wife of Omkar's father Rupankar RoyChowdhury who was driven out of the family for her attempt to murder her husband for properties) for snatching the transcript. Damini (a lady tantrik now) comes back to the RoyChowdhury family for revenge. She welcomes Dugga in the Roychowdhury mansion, pretending to be innocent. Then she blackmails Dugga for the transcript and kidnaps Omkar at the later's refusal. But, Dugga finds Omkar with the help of Maa Durga. Later, Damini tries to kill Dugga. Dugga is saved by the grace of Durgeshwari but loses her memory. Meanwhile, Maa Durga takes the humanoid form to vanquish the Evil. Later, Dugga reaches in RoyChowdhuri house and regains her memory with Maa's blessings. Damini and Kingkar are exposed after their failed attempt to kill Omkar. They are arrested. Although, Damini vows about comeback and revenge.

22 years later, after Omkar and Dugga's demise, the story continues with their daughter Devi. Damini again comes back in disguise for revenge and tries to kill Devi but all in vain. For Dugga's soul, Damini is arrested and Devi marries her lover Babon. They live happily ever after with the blessing of Maa Durgeshwari.
