Summary

Far away from the peace and tranquillity of Kailash, Tarakasura evokes Lord Brahma. Impressed by his disciple, Brahma blesses him that only Shiva's son can slay him. On other hand, lord Shiva promises that he and his wife together cannot have a child because that brightness will be so powerful that the world won't be able to handle its power and the world will be destroyed. And Lord Kartikeya is born from lord Shiva's powers and slays Tarakasura and to save the southern side he leaves Parvati. Parvati got worried.
Parvati draws an illusion image of her son and unfortunately its nose got wiped. Lord Shiva assures Goddess Parvati that the image is a reflection of what is awaiting her in the near future. When Lord Shiva informs her that they will have a second child soon, and she has to take Punya vrat on lord Vishnu. According to him, Parvati does yajna and unfortunately it is disturbed by lord Shiva.
Lord Shiva promises Parvati that her fast will not be broken because of him in the future again. Parvati goes to a secluded spot and begins her tapasya. Vishnu appears before Parvati and fulfils her wish. On other hand, Shiva blesses Gajasur for his tapasya that he would be in Gajasur's stomach.
Goddess Parvati's fury brings cataclysmic events upon the entire universe. Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma urge Goddess Parvati to keep herself calm and await Lord Shiva at Kailash. To calm Parvati, Lakshmi gives Chandan powder. And Parvati makes a child idol with the paste. And from the idol Lord Ganesha is born.
After the birth of Ganesh, Parvati sees that her son is blessed with the powers of the Tridev. The disciples of Mahadev, meet Vishnu, who informs them that no one can defeat Gajasur. Meanwhile, Shani Dev learns about Parvati's son, Ganesh.
Shani Dev is eager to see Ganesh. Meanwhile, Parvati is waiting for Mahadev to arrive and meet his son, Ganesh. Then, Shani Dev arrives in Kailash to see Ganesh. Chandradev informs Shani Dev that he can see Ganesh through his reflection in the water.
Shani Dev realises his mistake but its too late as his sight takes an effect on Ganesh. He tries to escape but Parvati catches hold of Shani Dev. Parvati takes the avatar of Durga to teach a lesson to Shani Dev. And seeing Ganesh's face, Parvati calms herself.
Mahadev is released from Gajasur's stomach by Lord Vishnu. Knowing this Parvati goes to bath and bestows powers on Ganesh to equip with powers that can keep the forces of evil at bay. Then, Mahadev arrives at Kailash but Ganesh refuses to let him inside. Ganesh is oblivious of Mahadev's identity and naively questions him about it.
When Shiva arrives at the doorstep of Kailash, Ganesh refuses to let him in. Displeased, Shiva is forced to go back along with Nandi. Later, Nandi tries to politely convince him and lure him into eating fruits and sweets.
The disciples of Mahadev urge Ganesh to let them inside but Ganesh refuses to do so. Ganesh uses the powers bestowed on him by Parvati to counter the attacks from Mahadev’s disciples.
Ganesh fights off every attack from the disciples of Mahadev. The disciples approach Mahadev and plead with him to take matters onto his own hands. Mahadev does not take the insult of his disciples lightly.
While Parvati remains oblivious of the events outside her abode, Ganesh fights off the attacks from the Gods of the Devlok. Saraswati asks Brahma to reveal Ganesh’s identity the Gods. Ganesh is angered by when he is attacked by Indra.
Yama confronts Ganesh in an attempt to overpower him using his divine powers. But, his powers are no match for Ganesh, who has been bestowed with powers from Parvati herself.
Mahadev is forced to unleash his wrath upon Ganesh as the naive son of Parvati is refusing to let his guard down and let the disciples of Mahadev inside. Mata Parvati comes out and gets angry on all devas.
Parvati remembers Yamraj about the story, 'infuriated Yamraj forcefully tries to take Shiva's devote to the Yamlok. Yamraj's act incense Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, who take the form of Ardhnarishwar and punish him'.
Mahadev reveals to Parvati that he has beheaded Ganesh. Parvati breaks down in tears. She blames the Gods for forcing Ganesh to sacrifice his life to keep his vows. The rage turns Parvati into a vengeful avatar and she takes on the Rudra Roop.
The Gods fear that Parvati's Rudra Roop will bring only destruction and death to the world. Parvati is determined to kill all the Gods who caused the death of Ganesh. The powers of the Gods are no match in front of Parvati's divine forces.
Mahadev assures Parvati that he will bring back Ganesh from death. Parvati brings an end to the destruction and then Maharishi Kashyap appears before Parvati and informs her that Ganesh’s death is a result of his curse.
The Gods find a new born whose head is pointing towards the south. But, the new born is no human but an elephant. Then, Yamraj appears before Lord Vishnu and informs that he has come to take the newborn's life.
Mahadev breathes life into Ganesh but, Parvati, seeing that her son is now unrecognisable, does not want to accept him. Ganesh, too, is unaware about his new identity.
The Gods are worried that Parvati has still not accepted Ganesh as her son. Mahadev informs Brahma that fate will take its own course and eventually things will fall into place.
Ganesh’s love for her mother, Parvati, melts her heart and she finally accepts Ganesh. Parvati appreciates the beauty that lies within Ganesh.
Sindhura hears about the celebrations in Kailash and decides to find out. Meanwhile, all the Gods arrive at Mahadev’s abode to bless Ganesh. Sindhura arrives at Devlok and challenges Indra Dev.
Indra Dev is worried with the arrival of Sindhura. He confronts Sindhura, who asks him the reason the behind the celebrations in Kailash. Indra Dev’s powers prove no match against Sindhura’s powers.
Sindhura peaks into Indra Dev’s mind and finds out about Ganesh’s identity. Indra Dev tries to attack Sindhura but the Asur overpowers him. Sindhura then sets his eyes on Brahma.
Chandra Dev has had enough of the situation as Ganesh continues to play with the crescent moon. Nandi approaches Mahadev and informs him that the crescent moon is with Ganesh.
Parvati notices that the crescent moon is missing. She is informed by Nandi that Ganesh has the crescent moon with him. Parvati asks Mahadev’s disciples to ask Ganesh to hand over the crescent moon.
Ganesh is eager to taste the food kept in front of him. But, Parvati wants him to take a bath first before satisfying his hunger. Meanwhile, Brahma is worried that Sindhura will use his powers, a boon and son from Brahma's yawning, to create chaos in Devlok.
Parvati is worried as Ganesh is not to be found in Kailash. She asks Nandi to find her son before he finds himself in trouble. Meanwhile, Ganesh is spending time with Vishnu and Lakshmi. When he leaves, Ganesh takes away Panchajanya (Vishnu's conch given by his father-in-law i.e., Lakshmi's father Samudra dev).
Laxmi tells Vishnu to go and fetch it from him. At Kailash, Parvati and Shiva are worried about Ganesha's sudden disappearance.
Parvati and Lord Vishnu are worried when Ganesh swallows Lord Vishnu's conch. Shiva, on the contraray, doesn't panic. In order to get his shell back, Vishnu devises a trick. When he begins to do multiple situps, Ganesh starts laughing uncontrollably and the conch comes out of Ganesh. And Vishnu got surprised as the conch is immersed with Amrit which is in Ganesh's stomach.
And Parvati's parents Himavan and Meenavati arrive to see their grandson. Again Parvati is worried when she is unable to find Ganesh. But Shiva consoles her and tells her that he must be playing around. Meanwhile, Ganesh goes to Brahma Lok and plays the veena for Brahma Dev and Saraswati. Shiva hears Ganesh's soothing music and is happy. He requests him to come back.
Ganesh is given with some toys. Ganesh’s new wooden toy comes alive. The demon, who has taken the form of the toy, takes Ganesh on a ride with an intention to harm him. But, Ganesh learns of the demon’s malicious intentions and comes up with an idea to escape unhurt.
Parvati orders Nandi to find Ganesh before he lands into trouble yet again. Meanwhile, the demon tries to harm Ganesh using his powers, but it proves futile in front of Ganesh’s powers. During their search for Ganesh, Parvati and Mahadev’s disciples find Ganesh and take him back to Kailash. Meanwhile, Indra Dev is informed about Ganesh’s naming ceremony, but he refuses to attend it and atlast he agrees to come.
Parvati is eagerly awaiting for her son, Ganesh’s naming ceremony. She wants Ganesh to get ready before the ceremony. But, Ganesh has other curious plans on his mind. Then, she asks her disciples to help Ganesh get ready for the ceremony. Later, during the ceremony, Sindhura arrives at Kailash without the knowledge of the Gods.
All the Gods arrive at Kailash for the naming ceremony of Ganesh. Mahadev and Parvati remain unaware that Sindhura has arrived in Kailash. The moment finally arrives when Mahadev names his son as Gajanan.
Shani Dev to arrives there and seeks forgiveness from Parvati, who agrees to forgive him and also bless him. The Gods are unaware that Sindhura is with Ganesh. But, Sindhura’s powers fail to inflict any harm to Ganesh. Later, Parvati finds Ganesh, who informs her that a demon was in Kailash. To safeguard Ganesh, Parvati asks the Gods to name Ganesh a divinity.
Parvati insists that Ganesha deserves the honor and respect just like any other god for his own safety. Indra dev tells Parvati that it would be unfair to give Ganesha the title of God as there are million other children who live an unsafe life. Mahadev resolves this issue by telling "Someone can be god only by their karma and not by their birth so gajanan cannot be made a god by his birth".
Ganesh is in a dilemma when Kartikeya arrives in Kailash. Parvati informs Mahadev that he should have supported her instead of Indra Dev. Kartikeya is then introduced to Ganesh, who gleefully gives a hug to his elder brother. Kartikeya is disappointed that his mother has given her full attention to Ganesh and not him.
As Ganesha neglects the warning of his brother and takes a joyride on his brother's Mayoora. Mayoora loses control and flies loud and around and somehow dark forces sense Ganesha's troubles and Kartikeya saves him.
Parvati informs Karthikeya about the sumptuous meal she has prepared for him. Ganesh feels sad that Parvati has not called him for the meal. And Jimbha in form of Jaya (Parvati's friend) gives him poison in form of milk and Ganesh drinks it and it didn't make any problem on him. Ganesh decides to take matters into his own hands and sits next to Karthikeya. However, midst their moment of joy, the brothers remain oblivious of the threat approaching them.
Parvati is eager to know the reason behind recurring attacks on Ganesh. Then, Brahma and Vishnu appear before Parvati and inform her that Ganesh is no ordinary boy but a divine form. And tells that he is the form of Parabhrama Mahaganapthi and born to kill Sindhura.
Brahma informs Parvati that Ganesh is not aware of his true divine nature. Ganesh complains that no one was worried that he was gone for so long. Then, Parvati treats Ganesh to a Anna Prashan Sanskar and a special food Modak, which is attended by Mahadev, Vishnu and Brahma.
Parvati informs Ganesh about the activity he has to complete. She takes him to a spot, where he has to meditate. Indra asks Karthikeya to help him defend the Devlok. But, Parvati refuses to send Karthikeya along with Indra.
Ganesh finds himself all alone against the demons who attack him. The demons are unaware of the powers bestowed on Ganesh by Parvati. Using these powers Ganesh counters every attack from the demons. And Karthikeya comes to save Ganesh.
Parvati encourages Ganesh to perform the meditation. But, Ganesh can’t resist the hunger. Parvati once again makes Ganesh understand that to attain divine power he has to perform the meditation.
Sindhura arrives at Devlok and takes the throne from Indra Dev. He demands the eternal potion (Amrit) from Indra, who informs that getting the potion is next to impossible. Sindhura decides to get the potion come what may.
Indra Dev takes Sindhura to the location, where the eternal potion is located. Vishwakarma refuses to let Sindhura pass through. Sindhura hypnotizes Vishwakarma. Ganesh, who has been meditating realizes his true divine powers and the powers releases Devas from Sindhura's hypotizes.
Indra Dev realizes that Sindhura has cheated him. He asks the asur to stop in his tracks but he marches forward. When Vishwakarma and Indra Dev try to attack Sindhura, his response leaves them startled.
To save his disciple, Vishwakarma agrees to take Sindhura inside but Sindhura does not live up to his word and kills the innocent. Then, he forcefully takes Vishwakarma inside. Meanwhile, Indra Dev approaches Brahma, who informs Indra that he cannot help him. He asks him to seek Vishnu’s help. Thereby, Vishnu asks him to seek Ganesha's help.
Sindhura is just steps away from grabbing the Amrit. Indra Dev stands before Ganesh and requests him to defeat Sindhura. Parvati agrees to send Ganesh with him and asks Ganesh to prevent Sindhura from grabbing the Amrit. Just as Sindhura is about to grab the Amrit, arrives Ganesh.
Mahadev and Parvati take different avatars – that of Veerabhadra and Kali. Lakshmi is worried that Sindhura might prove too strong for Ganesh. But, Mahadev and Parvati’s avatars make sure their son has an upper hand against the demon.
Karthikeya helps Ganesh in his fight against Sindhra. Then, Sindhura unleashes yet another avatar of his, but Ganesh counters his attack and turns it against Sindhura. Later, Sindhura meets Brahma and Saraswati and begs them to forgive him.
Sindhura tries to persuade Saraswati to help him defeat Ganesh. But, she refuses to come to his aid. Then, Ganesh once again confronts Sindhura and decides to teach him a final lesson for hurting Saraswati’s sentiments. Ganesh wins the battle against Sindhura.
All the Gods realize the true divine form of Ganesh. Indra Dev begs for forgiveness from Ganesh. Then, seeing that all the Gods have a ‘vahana’ of their own, Ganesh gets curious and wants to possess one of his own. Then Kuber calls Ganesh for his feast.
Ganesh arrives with Kuber in his palace to remove his arrogance and is greeted by Indra Dev and the rest of the gods. Seeing the foods on offer, Ganesh feels that it will not be enough to satisfy his hunger. Kuber makes the mistake of misjudging Ganesh and assures him that he has enough ration to fill his stomach if need be. But, when Ganesh starts eating, all the food that has been prepared is gobbled up.
Indra Dev insists that Kuber apologise to Parvati and Mahadev. Parvati gives a vine leaf to Kuber and asks him to give it to Ganesh. Ganesh’s hunger satisfies and spares the lives of the gods.
After interacting with a few sages, Ganesh leaves their hermitage and enters a dense forest. While on his way home, he comes across shape shifting serpents. The serpents attack Ganesh, leaving him no choice but to defend himself.
Ganesh is attacked by Sarpraj during his visit to Naglok. Not the one to back off, Ganesh uses his powers to defend himself. Meanwhile, Mushika has taken over Devlok and has proclaimed himself as the ruler.
Ganesh arrives in Devlok to face Mushikasur. He cleverly devises a plan to send Mushikasur's army out of Devlok.
Parvati and Mahadev confront each other. One wants to safeguard her disciple, the other wants to save his son. Mushikasur’s life is in danger as Ganesh wants to teach him a lesson for entering the Devlok.
Parvati and Mahadev end their battle and Ganesh decides to forgive Mushikasur. Meanwhile, Mushikasur creates chaos at a hermitage. Ganesh arrives and asks the sages to continue with their prayers while he takes care of Mushikasur.
Ganesh is ecstatic that finally he has got a vahana for himself. All the gods appear before Ganesh and bless him for bringing an end to the chaos caused by Mushikasur. But, as the storm caused by Mushikasur settles, dark clouds gather over Devlok.
Indra Dev and the other gods meet Mahadev and seek a solution for the constant conflict between them and the demons. Narad informs the gods that Vayudev should be the god who should be worshipped above all. And Bhrama tells to have a race.
Surya Dev, Shani Dev, Kal Dev, Chandra Dev, Varun Dev, Surya Dev, Yam Dev, Agni Dev all reach the starting point to start the race. They are later joined by Indra Dev and Kumar Kartikeya and later on by Kuber Dev. Everyone is there on time except Ganesh because of Mushak's slow phase. Bhrama Dev announces the rules of the competition.
The competition starts and all the Devtas are off to race. Indra Dev stays in lead in Kaashi and Haridwar. On the other hand, Ganesh and Mushak are still thinking at the starting point as to how to win the race. Agni Dev attacks Indra Dev and set the way to Hrishikesh on fire. All the Devtas and Devis watch the competition.
Gajanan walks around Mahadev and Parvati on mushak ji. There gajanan, reaches earth and all the important tirth places from where the required things have to be brought, gajanan prays to the teerth places and then he reaches the ocean, there as gajanan reaches the ocean water splits itself and the cave’s door is opened towards patal lok.
All gods now heads on their vehicles towards Suryadev’s lok in the sun. Gajanan completes the entire meal at Raja Bali's place to give him respect for which Raja Bali is very thankful as all the other Devtas didn't touch the food because of their race. Rahu and Ketu are angry at the gods and plan to let no god go ahead.
All the participants reaches Surya lok and takes a gem as per competition rules. Ganesh tells Kartikeya to continue the race as he will join after doing meditation. Meanwhile, all the devas arrives at the chandra lok and notices Kartikeya and Ganesh are left behind.
Gajanan got angry at Rahu-Ketu. He brings back Mushak ji using his trunk and by pulling him using air. He takes Mushak ji and punishes Rahu and Ketu. All the others gods are still competing in the race as they reach Rishi Shokracharya’s Shukralok and then go ahead to reach Brahmalok. Indradev is shocked to see Gajanan already there playing music for Brahmadev and Maa Saraswati.
Then Gajanan goes to Vaikunta and starts drinking all the milk. While drinking the milk, he also starts drinking all the oceanic water. Lord Vishnu is worried that Gajanan might drink all the ocean water. Gajanan moves ahead in the race towards the last step. All the other gods are shocked as Gajanan wins the race and reaches Mahadev and Parvati ji first. Everyone celebrates his victory. And Gajanan is renamed as Ganesh.
Given the powers of Ganesh, which have proved beneficial to the gods against their eternal dual with the demons, Brahma declares that Ganesh should be worshiped before every other god. As the gods rejoice about this, a new threat comes knocking.
Gajanan haves notions of three demons praying in space to his father Mahadev, but he couldn’t enter that place, as some Divya shield kept him away from entering. Parvati says that its Tripura and tells Ganesh about the story of Tripura and how it all started with Asur Samrat Tarkasur’s death, when Kartikeya killed Tarkasur, his 3 sons, Tarkaksh, Kamlaksh and Vindhurmali all decided to pray to Brahma dev for theirs wish. Bhrama blesses that only Mahadev himself would be able to kill us and destroy our Tripura.
While Ganesh is invited for a feast, Mushikasur lands into trouble as he finds himself facing death. Ganesh hears the cries of Mushikasur and decides to rescue him. But, in his attempt to rescue Mushikasur, Ganesh himself gets trapped.
Ganesh ji tricks the demons and tries to stop the demon army from getting raised, with Mushak ji. Ganesh ji tries to consume all the ingredients with the help of Mushak ji. He stands over the volcano to stop anything powerful from getting inside the volcano and covers it with a powerful shield. Gajanan tries to convince Mahadev and Parvati to stop all the disciples as they are the demons but fails to do so.
Ganesh approaches Mahadev to find a solution. He is asked to seek Vishnu’s help to defeat Tripurasur as Mahadev can’t help him. Knowing that Tripurasur is Mahadev’s disciple, Vishnu helps Ganesh by creating Arihant from his Foot dust. And Arihant calls Apsaras and gives them alcohol. This stops Mahadeva's prayers in Tripura.
All the gods approach Mahadev and request him to help them defeat Tripurasur. Assured about Tripurasur’s intentions, he decides to confront Tripurasur.
Mahadev decides to confront Tripurasur. All the gods gather and hail him before he sets out on the journey. With Brahma as his charioteer, Mahadev sets out on a journey to confront Tripurasur. And without knowing his chariot got destroyed.
When Mahadev returns to Devlok, Parvati informs him that Tripurasur had an upper hand in the battle as Ganesh, who should have been offered prayers to was neglected. Enraged, Mahadev refuses to pray before his own son and walks out.
And at last Shiva agrees to pray Ganesh. Shiva and Parvati worship Ganesh before confronting Tripurasur and with the intent of defeating him. Blessed by his divine powers, Mahadev once again confronts Tripurasur and defeats him.
Parvati Ji tells Gajanan the story of Parshuram and how he came to be known as Rishi Putra Ram. Parshuram was the only one who could wield the great bow, Pinak. Mahadev himself gave him the power and blessings to wield that bow and tells him that he'll need it in the future. Parshuram is seen training with his great bow and an axe. Parvati ji tells Gajanan how his family was killed and how is anger will lead to his end.
Parvati is upset because of something and when Gajanan asks her what was wrong, she tells him everything. She says that Parshuram’s parents died and tells her the story how they served food to an entire army when egoistic King Kartavirya Arjuna comes to his ashram. After they have finished their food, Kartavirya asks Parshuram's parents Renuka and Jamadagni to give him their holy cow and he will pay them as much as they want. When they refuse the king gets angry and kills them. And to take revenge Parshuram kills the whole Kshatriya family.
Ganesh tells Mahadev and Parvati that Parshuram might stop destruction listening to Rishi Kashyap talk. Parshuram tells Rishi Kashyap that he realizes his mistake and swears to end the destruction right then. He asks what he should do. Rishi Kashyap says the answer lies with him, he shall take the decision, thinking what kind of future he wants for him. Parshuram says he doesn’t want to decide on his own and asks him to accept the charity. Rishi accepts it and asks where he will be. Parshuram says he will be alone far away in Mahindra mountains. He throws pink and then it comes back. He thanks, Rishi Kashyap for showing him right path and says he has important work to return the pink to Mahadev.
Ganesh makes the arrangements to get puja stuff for Bal Khea Rishis. Ganesh says he will do the arrangements right now and says I have to do this work without going from here obeying my father’s orders. Ganesh obeys Mahadev's order when Parshuram arrives in the Kailash.
Parshuram folds his hands and greets Mahadev from there. Ganesh thinks he is greeting Mahadev and thinks who is this parshu dharak. He recalls Parvati telling Rishi Jamadagni and his wife Devi Renuka’s 5th extraordinary son is Parshuram. He tells Parshuram that he heard about him from his mom and requests him to accept his pranam. He sings bhajan praising Parshuram qualities. Parshuram nods his head. The Gods in heaven say Ganesh handles him well. Nandi is happy too. Ganesh says it seems you are tired, and says he will bring water. Parshuram says he can’t get rid of tiredness by having water. Ganesh asks shall I bring food. Mahadev and Parvati are sitting with their eyes closed while the Bal Rishi’s do puja.
Ganesh asks Parshuram to wait for sunset and get Shiva's darshan. Angry Parshuram throws his Parshu towards sun and stops his rays. And Ganesh says it is not natural sunset and I won't let you in.
Parshuram fails to move Ganesh from the way even after using his strength to the fullest. Krishna ji says this might be the sign of an upcoming trouble. Parshuram runs towards Ganesh with full speed and collides with Ganesh. Ganesh is still standing at his place. Parshuram falls afar and collides with mountain, he comes back and gets frustrated.
Parshuram uses bhala and Ganesh thinks it is my luck to see Parshuramji fighting using a spear as a chance to learn from him. Lord Vishnu smiles and Laxmi asks what happened. Lord Vishnu tells that Parshuramji is the greatest warrior for battle but it is also good for Ganesh who wants to learn from Parshuramji.
Parashurama breaks the tusk of Ganesh using his parshu axe. Parvati hears the sound of Gajanan screaming her name and gets scared and runs out to find Ganesh. Lord Vishnu is worried about what Parvati will do this time as when last time something happened to Ganesh, she was ready to destroy the universe.
Parvati takes her Maa Kali form as Parshuram is sitting doing pranam. Everyone is scared and think no one can stop Parvati now. Ganesh suddenly gets up and calls her. He tries to calm her down and tries to explain everything but she is not convinced. And Lord Vamana appears and calms her. Then Lord Ganesh is to drop Lord Parshuram with Lord Krishna and Radha.
Parvati says why was Ganesh so worried while he was going. Mahadev asks Parvati not to be worried as her son has already been through so many difficulties and still came back. Parvati agrees with him and decides to give Mahadev and Gajanan a surprise when Ganesh is back by drawing the image of Shiva and Parvati. And she to do surprise closes her eyes and it gave a son of darkness. Mahadev said Parvati to go outside Kailash. And the new son Andhakha is given to Hiranyaksh, lord Siva's devote.
Parvati thinking about what Mahadev said and has tears and is worried. Parshuram thanks Gajanan for freeing him from all the curses and sins. There Parvati does the Pooja of shiv ling and is still worried about the mistake she did.
Ganesh says I came back to Kailash and mother did not meet me at the door, this can never happen. Ganesh asks that has anything happened to the mother. Mahadev says no, she is fine. Ganesh thinks that he has never seen his father such sad. Mahadev thinks if Ganesh knows he will be very sad, but it cannot be hidden from him. Mahadev says son, your mother is not in Kailash.
Ganesh goes to earth to bring back Parvati to Kailash. Mahadev waits and thinks why hasn’t Ganesh come yet. Ganesh is on Mushakji and comes towards Kailash. He finally lands on Kailash with some gan beside him. Ganesh comes and says father that mother has welcomed you with all hearts on earth. Mahadev is happy and smiles and says then should we go now.
When Shiva goes to Earth to meet Parvati while his devote Vastram prays to him. To see his devote, he leaves Parvati. Mahadev says to Vastram that a child who is undefeatable and will live forever cannot be granted to you as a wish. Demon says Mahadev that he has prayed for years, is this what I get of my bhakti. Mahadev tells Vastram that he can grant you a wish, your son will be all-powerful as he is born. Mahadev grants Vastram his wish.
Mahadev goes to meet Parvati after blessing Vastram. Mahadev is dejected as Parvati has taken a decision in haste and chose to abandon him. And she reincarnated as Katyayani to Rishi Katyayan. Tears roll down Mahadev’s eyes as he begins to remember Parvati. Entering his abode, he thinks about Parvati and regrets the turn of events. Meanwhile, a young Mahishasur is crying before his father’s dead body and vows to take revenge for his death by Devas.
With a vengeful desire to exact revenge of his father’s death. A grown-up Mahishasur evokes Brahma and demands that he must be killed by a women. Meanwhile, Ganesh travels to a hermitage to meet Parvati, whose has taken an avatar.
All the Devas have gone to collect haldi. But Ganesh is feeling anxious about something. Meanwhile a wild bull attacks the Devis.
Mahishasur's henchmen ambush the Devis. The Asuras are plotting to take the Devis to Mahishasur for his entertainment.
Ganesh manages to bait the bull. He lures the bull towards him and the Devis are able to escape from the bull with the help of Ganesh.
Nandi and the wild bull fight each other. Nandi seems to have an upper hand in the beginning, but the wild bull, Mahishasur, gets up and drags Nandi towards the underworld.
Lord Shiva starts hurting Mahishasur. Brahma Dev is forced to protect Mahishasur and Ganesha asks Shiva to stop hurting him. The gods go to Parvati to ask for her help in destroying Mahishasur in her powerful Katyayani form.
The Devi reveals her true self. The Rishi asks the Devas to gift the Katyayani her weapons and tools.
The Devis are dragged to Mahishasur. He is happy that he gets to torment the Devis. In order to torment them further, he drags in the children.
The Mahadevi has succeeded in making Mahishasur angry. He is on his way to kill her. The Mahadevi confronts him on the battlefield.
The battle between the Mahadevi and Mahishasur's army rages on. The Mahadevi is destroying Mahishasur's army. Ganesh wants to help the Mahadevi but Shiva explains why he should not interfere. At last, Maa Katyayani slays Mahishasura.
Ganesh pacifies an enraged Parvati by evoking the mother in her. Parvati holds Mahadev responsible for giving a boon to Mahishasur. Brahma dev tries to pacify Parvati but to no avail. Then Goddess Parvati again moves to hermitage.
Goddess Parvati promises Sage Katyayan that he will get an opportunity to perform the 'Kanyadaan' ritual for her. On the other hand, Sage Shukracharya is impressed with Andhakasura and chooses him to lead the asuras against the gods.
Sage Shukracharya plans to replace Prahlad with Andhakasura as the king of 'Paatal Lok'. On the other hand, Goddess Parvati builds a 'Shivling' to worship Lord Shiva and resolves to return to Mount Kailash only if he comes and remarries her.
Goddess Laxmi urges Lord Vishnu to do something about Lord Shiva's separation from Goddess Parvati. Later, she is forced to leave Vaikuntha and agrees to move to Andhakasura's palace after his severe penance.
Lord Ganesha is worried about the consequences of Lord Shiva's separation from Goddess Parvati and Goddess Laxmi's departure from her abode, Vaikuntha. He summons the best warriors to join the army of the gods against the asuras.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya appear outside Andhakasura's palace along with other gods and announce that they are ready to battle the asuras. After Prahlad intervenes, the gods consider initiating peace talks through Lord Ganesha.
Lord Ganesha introduces himself to Andhakasura and asks him to let Goddess Laxmi go back to her abode, Vaikuntha. When the asuras attack Lord Ganesha, he escapes and warns Andhakasura of his impending doom.
While Andhakasura gathers his best fighters, Lord Ganesha motivates the gods by pointing out their strengths. Later, Kartikeya explains the battle strategy to the gods.
Andhakasura unleashes his most powerful demons during the battle, which causes the gods to panic. Soon, Kartikeya and Lord Ganesha enter the battlefield, followed by all other gods.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya are surprised when all the gods struggle against Andhakasura and his army in battle. Even Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma have a tough time helping the gods.
Lord Vishnu narrates the story of Jyestha Laxmi, Goddess Laxmi's elder sister who brings misfortune. Lord Ganesha then decides to take her to 'Paatal' to ensure that Goddess Laxmi returns to 'Vaikuntha'.
Goddess Laxmi returns along with Lord Ganesha, leaving Jyestha Laxmi behind. This makes Andhakasura and his army weaker while the gods gradually turn stronger.
Lord Shiva gulps down Sage Shukracharya for misusing his powers to revive the dead asuras. While Sage Shukracharya sees the universe inside, the asuras get defeated. Later, Goddess Laxmi announces that Lord Ganesha must be worshipped with her.
Prahlad tries to talk some sense into Andhakasura by narrating the story of Hiranyakashyapu, who was killed by Lord Vishnu's avatar called Narsimha. However, Andhakasura continues to nurture hatred and vengeance in his heart.

Born out of Lord Shiva's anger, a powerful asura, Jalandhar, resides in the depths of the ocean and wreaks havoc. Vrinda, a devotee of Lord Vishnu, decides to transform herself into a demoness to entice Jalandhar after falling for him.
In the form of a demoness, Vrinda overpowers Jalandhar and reveals that she left the path of Lord Vishnu's devotion to be with him. Impressed by her demonstration of powers, Jalandhar marries her.
Jalandhar and Vrinda visit Sage Shukracharya, the guru of asuras, for guidance to establish their rule over the world. Sage Shukracharya, however, mistakes Jalandhar for Lord Shiva.
After learning about the uncanny resemblance of his appearance to that of Lord Shiva's, Jalandhar plans to use it to his advantage. However, Sage Shukracharya asks him to prove through a test that he can rule the universe.
During the second phase of his test, Jalandhar is shocked as he encounters Lord Shiva in a cave. After Jalandhar completes his test, Sage Shukracharya blesses him with several powers.
All the gods are confused after they find a replica of Kailash alongside the original one. However, the replica appears a lot more lavish compared to the original one.
When all the gods visit the replica of Kailash, Jalandhar appears with his wife Vrinda and asks them to worship him instead of Lord Shiva. Offended by this, the gods approach Lord Shiva and discover how Jalandhar was born.
After Surya refuses to worship Jalandhar, the latter tries to subdue him with his strong attacks. Unaware of this situation, Indra and his wife are worried about the delay in the sunrise.
Indra and other gods come to Surya's aid but struggle miserably in their fight against Jalandhar. Before Jalandhar can kill them, Lord Ganesha rescues all the gods.
After rescuing the gods, Lord Ganesha takes them to Kailash, where they narrate their plight to Goddess Parvati and Kartikeya. Lord Ganesha informs Kartikeya that only Lord Shiva can kill Jalandhar and they must force him to visit Kailash to end him.
While all the gods flatter Jalandhar, Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya arrive at his palace. However, Vrinda is unable to trust Lord Ganesha and suggests getting him imprisoned.
Lord Ganesha cleverly tricks Jalandhar into letting him and Kartikeya stay over at his palace. However, Jalandhar and Vrinda are furious when Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya chant Lord Shiva's mantras.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya narrate why Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of the 'Shivling'. While the siblings sing Lord Shiva's praises, Jalandhar proceeds to kick the mud 'Shivling' in their room.
Stopped by Lord Ganesha from kicking the 'Shivling', Jalandhar expresses his wish to be worshipped using the rituals that are performed for Lord Shiva. However, this proves to be a trouble for Jalandhar.
Provoked by Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya, Jalandhar asks Indra and other gods to do the opposite of what they have been doing since the beginning. Lord Shiva fumes with anger when he receives the news.
The energy radiating from Lord Shiva's anger causes tremors in Jalandhar's palace. Soon, Lord Shiva challenges Jalandhar to a duel and the latter accepts it. However, Vrinda fears the outcome of his decision.

Lord Ganesha and other gods learn that Goddess Kali and Mahakal perform 'tandav' for the destruction of the universe so that it can be recreated from ground zero. Lord Ganesha feels indebted to her for patiently narrating all the stories to him.
Shocked by the sudden disappearance of Goddess Kali, Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya follow some clues which lead them to a huge army of asuras marching vigorously.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya conveniently keep an eye on the asuras as they shrink themselves in size. They carefully listen to Shukracharya when he addresses the group of asuras.
Various asuras battle with each other to win the competition supervised by Shukracharya while Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya discreetly watch them.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya discuss the chances of Raktabeej, Chand-Mund and Dhumralochan at winning the crown of the leader of asuras. Suddenly, a new competitor pair of Shumbh-Nishumbh arrives there to challenge them.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya get worried about the future of the universe and the gods after Shumbh wins the competition and becomes the leader of the asuras.

Lord Ganesha narrates how Chand-Mund, Shumbh-Nishumbh, Raktabeej and Dhumralochan turned powerful and joined forces against the gods. Later, Indra is in a dilemma when Shumbh sends a few women as his messengers to invite the gods to an event.
Markandeya asks Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya to stop Indra from attending Shumbh's event. However, Lord Ganesha chooses to let Indra and other gods suffer the consequences of making such a decision.
Unaware of Sage Shukracharya's sinister plan to trick the gods, Indra continues to enjoy the performances of the asura women in Shumbh's durbar. Suddenly, Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya arrive there, which makes Sage Shukracharya worried.
The asuras serve meals to Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya to keep them away from Indra and other gods. Meanwhile, the asuras play a game with the gods using magical dice.
After winning over some jewels from the asuras, Indra and other gods are lured into continuing the game. However, all the gods are shocked after Indra puts his elephant Airavat at stake and loses it to Shumbh in the later part of the game.
Despite losing several of his divine properties, Indra continues to play with Shumbh. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya get worried about the outcome of the game and later try to warn the gods.
After Shumbh mocks Indra for losing his throne in a bet, Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya appear and announce that the game is not over yet. Lord Ganesha then offers to play a game with Shumbh but puts forth a tricky condition before him.
Ganesh puts his Amrit in stake and starts the game and sneezes. The magical dice of Asuras is taken by Mushak ji and an real dice is given.
Despite losing everything to Lord Ganesha, the asuras refuse to return the gods' properties to them. Lord Ganesha appears in his humongous Panchmukhi avatar to protect the gods from the attacks of the asuras.
Irked by his defeat, Shumbh asks Shukracharya for advice to get back at the gods. Meanwhile, Kartikeya and Lord Ganesha miss Goddess Parvati and set out to look for her. Lord Ganesha decides to fast until she is found.
Goddess Parvati is involved in a task which requires her to stay away from the males. Hence, Lord Ganesha is required to channelize his inner female power and take the form of Goddess Vinayaki to meet her. Meanwhile, the asuras attack the gods.
Lord Ganesha's female avatar Goddess Vinayaki struggles to walk wearing a sari and manages to enter the cave to meet Goddess Parvati. Later, Goddess Parvati feeds her modaks while the gods struggle in their battle against the asuras.

When Indra's wife Sachi warns Shumbh and other asuras about the powers of the goddesses by reminding them of Mahishasura's death. She claims that Shumbh won't be able to imprison her or other goddesses of heaven.
Confined to a room, Indra's wife Sachi and other goddesses pray to Goddess Parvati to protect themselves from Shumbh and his asuras. The necklace on Goddess Parvati's idol breaks and each pearl turns huge to crush the asuras.
Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya help the gods against Shumbh and his army of asuras. After an intense battle, they take the gods along for their safety. However, the army of asuras attacks them again.
All the gods are relieved after Lord Ganesha manages to keep the army of asuras away from them. Meanwhile, Kartikeya plays the battlefield and showers the asuras with his arrows. However, Shumbh continues to torture Indra and Vaayu in captivity.
The divine vibes arising out of Markandeya's chant of Goddess's mantras incapacitates the army of asuras amid their fight against the asuras. Later, a couple of asuras inform Shumbh about the effect of the mantras.
While Kartikeya takes Indra and Vaayu along to a safe place, Dhumralochan follows them on Shumbh's orders. Lord Ganesha then takes him along to Vindhyachal to keep him away from the hideout of the gods.
Residing in the caves of Vindhyachal, Goddess Kaushiki, an avatar of Goddess Parvati, receives Shumbh's marriage proposal from Dhumralochan. She then asks him to convey to Shumbh that she will accept his proposal if he defeats her in a battle.
Maa Kaushiki throws the axe which hits Dhumralochan. In swarg lok, Dhumralochan's body comes falling down in court, and it turns to ash. Seeing this Raktabeej advises Shumbh not to fight with the women as she is the goddess who killed Mahishasur.
After Dhumralochan's death, Shumbh refuses to bow down to Goddess Kaushiki and plans to tame her instead. He asks Chand and Mund to capture her and present her before him.
To counter Chand and Mund as well as other asuras, Goddess Kaushiki pits her army of ghosts and spirits against them. They are surprised as she laughs when her army is being tortured by them. Soon, Goddess Kali appears and battles with the asuras.
Though Ruru is aware of Goddess Kali's powers, he agrees to battle with her for Chand and Mund. The asuras and the gods watch in awe as Goddess Kali defeats Ruru and kills him.
After Ruru's death, Chand and Mund order their army of asuras to attack Goddess Kali, Goddess Chandmari and Goddess Kaushiki. Goddess Kali then challenges Chand and Mund to battle with her while Goddess Chandmari attacks the asuras' army.
After Goddess Kali beheads Chand and Mund, Goddess Kaushiki gives her the name Chamunda. Meanwhile, Shumbh and Nishumbh are agitated by this news and plan to send Raktabeej to avenge the defeat.
Raktabeej engages in a duel with Goddess Kali after she refuses to let him battle with Goddess Kaushiki. After each attack, several droplets of his blood splatter all over, giving rise to his innumerable clones.
Goddess Kali consumes Raktabeej's blood to defeat him and stays careful that not even a drop falls on the ground. However, trouble arises when her thirst for blood continues to increase due to anger.
Goddess Kali fumes with anger because of her growing thirst for blood and proceeds to attack Lord Ganesha. However, Kartikeya saves him in the nick of time. Later, Lord Ganesha offers a solution to the gods to protect them from Goddess Kali's wrath.
Lord Shiva lies down in the path of Goddess Kali, after which she puts her foot on his chest. After she apologizes for her mistake, he explains her the dynamics of their relationship. While all the gods sing her praises, Shumbh plots his revenge.
Shumbh and Nishumbh proceed to attack Goddess Kaushiki despite the warning signs from her. After finishing off his army, she summons Goddess Chandmari and Goddess Kali to demonstrate the power of a woman to both the asuras.
After Shumbh and Nishumbh mock the goddesses by calling them docile and meek, Goddess Kaushiki displays her wisdom and successfully tackles all their attacks while the rest of the gods witness the battle.
After Shumbh and Nishumbh's army of asuras tortures the villagers, Goddess Kaushiki hints at Lord Ganesha who advises all the gods to channelize their inner female which causes several goddesses to appear.
All the newly appeared goddesses wreak havoc on the army of asuras while Goddess Kaushiki tries to warn Shumbh but in vain. Despite seeing the body parts of his army flying towards him, Shumbh pokes fun at Goddess Kaushiki and battles with her.
After boasting that he will put an end to the goddesses' maya, Shumbh proceeds to attack them. Goddess Kaushiki then uses a unique battle technique to tackle the attacks from Shumbh which leaves him in a state of disbelief.
After Lord Ganesha channelizes his inner female, Goddess Vinayaki appears to help the goddesses defeat Shumbh. All the goddesses then join forces and eventually kill Shumbh, after which all the gods sing their praises.
Kailash is abuzz with preparations on the occasion of Vinayaka Chaturthi and all the gods have been invited to the celebrations. In an atmosphere filled with happiness, Yamraj comes across a disturbing prediction about Lord Ganesha's well-being.
Amid Vinayak Chaturthi celebrations, Lord Ganesha unexpectedly starts talking rudely. On the other hand, when Bhom insists on visiting Kailash to meet his long-lost father, Lord Shiva, Goddess Earth tries to dissuade him.
As soon as Bhom arrives at Kailash, Nandi misbehaves with him as he refuses to believe that he is Lord Shiva's son. On the other hand, amid celebrations, Lord Ganesha turns aggressive while dancing, which surprises everyone.
Fearing Parvati's wrath, Yamraj finds it difficult to convey the disturbing prediction about Lord Ganesha to her. Later, Lord Ganesha consumes too many sweets and goes for a walk around Kailash with Kartikeya.
Chandra watches Lord Ganesha ride Mushakji and pokes fun at him after he falls off. Suddenly, Lord Ganesha screams and falls unconscious as his stomach tears apart. Meanwhile, Goddess Parvati finds out about the disturbing prediction from Yamraj.
Yamraj and the other gods feel relieved after Lord Ganesha regains consciousness and his stomach heals when he ties a snake around it. However, Lord Ganesha unleashes his wrath on Chandra after finding Parvati unconscious.
Goddess Earth is worried about the consequences of Bhom's aggressive penance. Meanwhile, the gods in heaven refuse to help Chandra because Lord Ganesha has cursed him that anyone who sees him would become disgraceful.
All the gods and goddesses, including Chandra's wife Rohini, sculpt an idol of Lord Ganesha using mud to worship him so that he forgives Chandra. Meanwhile, chaos ensues in the universe due to excessive heat in Chandra's absence.
All the gods get worried as they get no response from Lord Ganesha despite their fervent prayers. After they offer the Durva grass to him, he calms down and follows Parvati's advice to forgive Chandra. This marks the beginning of Sankashti Chaturthi.
Goddess Earth is concerned about Bhom's growing jealousy towards Lord Ganesha. On the other hand, Shukracharya is intrigued when he witnesses a hedgehog killing a lion. The hedgehog turns out to be an asura named Durbudhi.
A couple of Lord Ganesha's devotees feel disheartened after their worship ritual gets ruined due to Durbudhi. However, Lord Ganesha cheers the couple by appearing before them and battles with Durbudhi by creating a clone of himself.
Before dying at the hands of Lord Ganesha, Durbudhi predicts an endless war. While Lord Ganesha tries to figure out the reason behind his own uncontrollable anger, Brahma tries to calm him. However, Lord Ganesha tries to swallow him instead.
Lord Ganesha does not assimilate his other form into himself as he plans to find the source of his uncontrollable anger. When Mushakji comes to their aid, he gets confused seeing two Lord Ganeshas. Eventually, they locate Bhom.
After preventing a duel, Lord Ganesha assimilates his other form into himself and sees through his spiritual vision that Bhom was born after a droplet of Lord Shiva's sweat fell on the Earth. He then invites Bhom to Kailash to give him his rights.
Everyone at Kailash embraces Bhom as a part of their family. Parvati renames him as Mangal while Shiva grants him a boon to be a planet located close to Earth. Meanwhile, after the birth of Subodh, Gyanari plans to attack Lord Ganesha.
Lord Ganesha comes up with a plan to establish peace between the Gods and the asuras through Gyanari's son, Subodh. On his advice, Kartikeya agrees to become Subodh's guru. Later, Lord Ganesha helps Kartikeya enter Subodh's life.
Kartikeya starts grooming Subodh, which brings about a positive change in the latter's behaviour. He later introduces Subodh to a path towards the worship of Lord Ganesha.
On Gyanari's orders, his soldiers try to capture Kartikeya but in vain. After his escape, Gyanari simmers with anger and decides to punish Subodh for his devotion towards Lord Ganesha.
Despite Gyanari's torture, Subodh refuses to give up on his devotion towards Lord Ganesha. When Gyanari tries to kill Subodh, Dakini intervenes and saves his life. She later tries to convince her son to stop worshipping Lord Ganesha.
Lord Ganesha appears in the form of 'Mahodar' and ensures that Subodh does not get killed by Gyanari. However, he is not aware of a bigger threat that is looming large on him and the other gods.
After Gyanari's death, Dakini's sworn brother Arnalasur battles with Lord Ganesha. Despite getting killed, Arnalasur comes back to life. At Kailash, Lord Shiva then reveals to other gods that Arnalasur is the love child of Yamraj, the god of death.
After swallowing Arnalasur, Lord Ganesha feels severe pain in his stomach caused by the immense body heat. This happens as Arnalasur's body is made of lava. Due to the unbearable pain, Lord Ganesha continues to scream while the gods feel helpless.
All the gods try several remedial measures to help ease Lord Ganesha's pain but manage to provide only a short-term relief. When Goddess Parvati reaches the venue, everyone fears her wrath. However, she comes up with a solution instead.
Lord Ganesha is curious about how the strands of the Durva grass eased his pain while all other remedial measures did not work. Parvati then narrates the story of an ordinary Brahmin girl named Durva, and her devotion towards Lord Ganesha.
Mushakji gets scared after Lord Ganesha narrates a horror story to him. Soon, both fall asleep, unaware that they are under a threat from an unknown force. Later, Mushakji finds himself in trouble after he gets attacked while drinking water.
Lord Ganesha is taken aback after the unknown force reveals that it is the spirit of Gyanari, an asura whom he had killed in the past. Later, Kartikeya comes up with a solution to help Gyanari's trapped spirit.
After narrating the story of Kashi, which is dear to Lord Shiva, Kartikeya plans to visit the city with Lord Ganesha to help Gyanari's spirit attain salvation. They also decide to call Subodh to the city to help them accomplish the task.
Goddess Varahi, the protector of Kashi, starts fuming with rage and refuses to let Gyanari's spirit enter the city. To calm her down, Lord Ganesha chants her mantra while Subodh, Mushakji and Kartikeya pray with folded hands.
While narrating the significance of the Kashi Vishwanath temple to Lord Ganesha, Kartikeya reveals that Lord Shiva and Parvati reside there in a different form. Later, a sage advises them to take Gyanari's spirit to the river Ganga for his salvation.

Bhakhan casts a spell on all the gods except Kartikeya to make them fall asleep. Seeing them drowsy and tired, Kartikeya lets them take a break.
Surapadman crosses all his limits while torturing the gods in his captivity to force them to worship him. Amid that, Bhakhan and his aides walk in singing Kartikeya's praises.
Surapadman imprisons Bhakhan and his aides to punish them for becoming Kartikeya's devotees. His anger is further fuelled when Jayant makes his devotion towards Kartikeya evident.
After understanding the significance of Annamalaiyar temple and the rules to be followed before offering prayers, Kartikeya and the other gods set out to circumambulate the holy Mount Arunachala.
With Kartikeya and Lord Ganesha bound by the rules of prayer, Azamukhi launches an attack on them. However, the weapons shot by her turn into Bel leaves before reaching the brothers.
Ignoring Rajatkeshtika's warning, Azamukhi launches another attack on Kartikeya despite her repeated failures. However, she ends up becoming his devotee.
Blessed with the power of the element of fire, Kartikeya is Jayant's only hope to survive Agni Dev's attack in Surapadman's captivity. Just when Jayant is presumed dead, he emerges unharmed from the fire with his peacock feather intact.
When ordered to poison Jayant, Azamukhi begs Surapadman and Surasayi for mercy. As her efforts to have them spare Jayant's life go in vain, she tries to get rid of the bowl of poison.
Surasayi issues orders to imprison Jayant and Azamukhi and starve them to death. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha narrates how Goddess Parvati invited all the major deities to Kailash to watch Lord Shiva perform 'Anand Nrityam'.
Lord Ganesha narrates how Sheshnag was reborn as Patanjali to have his wish to watch Lord Shiva's 'Anand Nrityam' fulfilled. Back at Kailash, Devsena receives permission from Goddess Parvati and Sachi to meet Kartikeya.
Lord Ganesha narrates how Lord Shiva answered Sage Vyagrapad and Patanjali's prayers by performing 'Anand Nrityam' for them and allowed them to stay with his family and followers at Kailash.
Surasayi, Surapadman and Dandanayika fail to understand how Azamukhi managed to feed Jayant despite being lodged in a separate prison cell. On being questioned, the duo give all the credit to Kartikeya's divine powers.
Lord Ganesha narrates how Goddess Parvati made a shivling on the banks of River Kaveri and offered prayers to prove that she is capable of becoming Lord Shiva's student.
With their lives in danger, the gods in Surapadman's captivity pray to Kartikeya for help. Consequently, their faint cries for help echo inside Kartikeya's mind and he is unable to focus on his inner voice to find the answer to Lord Shiva's question.
Kartikeya wonders how he can encourage the gods exhausted from the journey to move further. Watching this from a distance, Lord Ganesha expresses his helplessness to Mushak Ji.
Surasayi and Surapadman test Jayant and the other gods' faith in Kartikeya by releasing hungry demons into their prison cells. Meanwhile, Devsena's arrival has a positive effect on Kartikeya's fatigued army.
Though Lord Ganesha is happy about Devsena's arrival at the camp, he does not want her to meet Kartikeya. Unable to stop her, he turns to Indra for help to keep the two away from each other.
Kartikeya opens his eyes and sees Devsena sitting opposite him praying to his idol. He loses his temper on hearing her address him as her husband.
After having a nightmare about Devsena and Kartikeya coming face-to-face, Lord Ganesha hatches a plan to keep her occupied elsewhere. Meanwhile, Veerbahu comes across the kingdom of Lanka on his way to Mahendrapuri.
Unaware that Lord Ganesha is the reason why she is unable to collect bel leaves and flowers, Devsena puts him in a tight spot by requesting him to clear the hurdles in her path.
Kartikeya notices the awkward smiles on Lord Ganesha's and Indra's faces after they send Devsena away for some work. Subsequently, the duo takes his leave under the pretext of assisting Devsena to avoid giving him more reasons to suspect them.
Goddess Chamunda Kali is about to swallow Veerbahu alive outside the gates of Mahendrapuri. However, she is forced to rethink her decision after Lord Ganesha appears before her and offers prayers to her.
After realizing that the security of Mahendrapuri has been compromised, Sudhmukhan vows to find the infiltrators and punish them before they can find their way to Jayant.
Surasayi grows restless on seeing Jayant praying to Kartikeya fearlessly and summons Surapadman to brief him on their next course of action. Azamukhi is unable to contain her emotions on having Lord Ganesha and Veerbahu as guests in her hut.
While Kartikeya is busy praying with his eyes closed, Devsena completes the rituals left incomplete by him without his knowledge. She does so after being granted the permission for it by Goddess Parvati.
While Devsena uses her body to obstruct the flow of waters gushing towards Kartikeya, Indra tries to keep his hut from being blown away in the storm.
With the storm getting worse, it becomes more difficult for Indra to keep Kartikeya's hut safe. To add to his horror, he witnesses a huge boulder rapidly moving towards Devsena.
Surapadman and his aides compel Veerbahu to commit suicide to prove his devotion for Kartikeya. Consumed with guilt for not being able to accomplish the task assigned to him, Veerbahu agrees to set himself on fire.
Veerbahu engages in a fierce duel with Sudhmukhan while the other gods protect the former from an army of invisible demons. Lord Ganesha finds himself in a dilemma with Azamukhi and Devsena landing in danger at the same time.
Despite having the opportunity to free Jayant, Lord Ganesha leaves him under Azamukhi's care for a divine purpose. Meanwhile, Indra is worried about Devsena lying unconscious in front of him.
Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati give Devsena a chance to answer the decisive question meant for Kartikeya. The gods' fate in the battle against Surapadman depends on her response.
While Kartikeya sets out to fight the big battle, Devsena decides to fast and pray for his victory. Little does she know that some demons are conspiring to kidnap her. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha becomes the long-trunked Gajavakra to help the gods.
Surasayi executes her sinister plan to crush Kartikeya and his huge army when she is distracted by her husband Sage Kashyap's voice. He dissuades her from resorting to unfair means, much to Azamukhi's relief.
Singhamukhan and Azamukhi find out how much they and their siblings mean to Surasayi. Meanwhile, Kartikeya and his army praise Vishwakarma for building a divine fortress for them.
Surasayi emotionally blackmails her sons to defend herself against accusations of being a bad mother. This turns the tables on Azamukhi, who faces Surapadman's wrath for driving a wedge in their family.
The widespread water shortage caused by Gajasura II affects everyone but the demons. Subsequently, Goddess Parvati sets out to teach him a lesson.
As Goddess Parvati's fiercest attacks fail to harm Gajasura II, the pressure mounts on Lord Ganesha to jump into action. However, he does not want to intervene unless ordered by her.
Gajasura II challenges Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha to a two-on-one fight. It is only a matter of time before the elephant-headed god realizes that their adversary is being protected by some special kind of power.
Even after listening to Goddess Parvati's discourses, Gajasura II refuses to back down. Consequently, the two-on-one fight resumes, compelling Lord Ganesha to pray to Maha Ganpati for guidance.
Bhanukopan uses unscrupulous means to wreak havoc on Kartikeya's army on the battlefield. He falters for a bit but bounces back thanks to Surasayi's evil powers.
After the 'Brahmastra' fails, Bhanukopan summons the 'Shivastra' from his quiver. Much to his disappointment, the weapon does not appear and weakens the demons' position in the battle.
Surasayi's daughters-in-law consider releasing Jayant to end the war between the gods and demons. Back in the battlefield, Lord Ganesha and the other gods get worried looking at the 'Shivastra' charging towards Kartikeya.
Kartikeya channelizes the powers of the earth element in himself to counter Surapadman's attacks. To make matters worse for the demons, he uses their weapons against them.
Surapadman returns from the battlefield with barely any hope for victory left in him. Back in the forest, Devsena grows insecure over a tribal woman's bubbling admiration for Kartikeya.
Armed with weapons far more devastating than before, Bhanukopan and his brother wreak havoc on the battlefield. Consequently, Kartikeya appears in his divine twelve-armed Shri Senani form to counter their attacks.
Devsena's world falls apart when the divine mirror shows the tribal woman standing next to Kartikeya as his bride. She ends up falling off the cliff and clings to a tree branch that slowly slips from her grip.
The tribal woman avoids looking at the divine mirror and tries to bring Devsena back to consciousness. Back in the battlefield, Kartikeya appears in his Shaktidhar form to revive his army that fell prey to Bhanukopan's attack.
Goddess Kali is compelled to fight for the demons thanks to a boon granted to Agnimukham. She is busy attacking the gods when Lord Ganesha's sobs distract her. She ultimately changes her mind after Kartikeya and his army offer prayers to her.
Veerbahu attacks the Yamaloka to retrieve his brothers' souls and bring them back to life. Sensing his approaching weapon, Yamaraja turns to Lord Ganesha for help.
Valli's thoughtfulness makes Devsena wonder if what she saw in the divine mirror earlier was a mere illusion. Back on the battlefield, Kartikeya channelizes the powers of the sky element in himself to tackle the demons.
While Surasayi is on the verge of completing her yajna to bring the dead demons back to life, the gods are slightly apprehensive about its outcome and discuss their next course of action.
The battle enters its decisive phase as Kartikeya and Surapadman lock horns with each other. It is only a matter of time before the former gains the upper hand by destroying the latter's strongest weapons.
Azamukhi and her newfound companions try to disrupt Surasayi's demon-reviving yajna. Back on the battlefield, Surapadman struggles miserably against Kartikeya.
With Surapadman dead, the fire of revenge keeps burning within Surasayi. Consequently, Kartikeya tries to give her the right perspective to avoid causing any more trouble for the gods.
Devsena wants to celebrate Lord Ganesha's birthday now that Kartikeya and his victorious army are back. Little do they know that their party could be spoiled by another predicament that is in the offing.
An old friend called Chhaliya turns against Mushak Ji thanks to Kroorasura, a demon blessed with a boon that makes him invincible except when it comes to rodents. The duo is all set to lock horns with each other to determine who is better.
Chhaliya gains the upper hand in the round that requires him to prove his devotion for Lord Ganesha. But it is only a matter of time before Mushak Ji, who has been battling the voices in his head, bounces back into the competition.
Kroorasura interrupts the competition between Chhaliya and Mushak Ji to wage war on Lord Ganesha. However, he is perplexed on seeing both the rodents accompany the elephant-headed deity.
Mushak Ji wins his friend Chhaliya back by protecting him from an attack. After killing Kroorasura, he gets rewarded with a throne and a boon that relays messages whispered in his ears to Lord Ganesha.
Amid their marriage talks, Kartikeya and Devsena learn that Valli is an integral part of their life. Lord Ganesha and Goddess Parvati explain why it is necessary for Kartikeya to take Valli as his second wife.
Kartikeya plays a prank on Valli: he appears in the form of a rishi, cures her father, and asks for her hand in marriage. However, she politely turns him down and stands by her decision even when he pretends to be enraged by her response.
Valli gets back at Kartikeya by keeping him waiting for quite some time before accepting his marriage proposal. Subsequently, he ties the knot with her and Devsena.
Valli and Devsena pamper Lord Ganesha by feeding him his favourite food. He builds a swing to thank them while his mind remains troubled with a premonition of the unknown.
Lord Ganesha frees the earth from a menace and explains the importance of cleanliness to his devotee. Subsequently, he summons Mahaganpati for guidance on his future course of action.
Lord Ganesha is busy meditating. Meanwhile, it rains curses in Golok binding Krishna, Radha, Sudama and Tulsi in a commitment to reincarnate as human beings on earth for a divine purpose.
Reincarnated as humans, Sudama and Tulsi devote themselves to their divine purposes. While he tries to please Lord Brahma with his fervent prayers, she prays to Lord Krishna.
Cursed by Tulsi, Lord Ganesha bans her from being a part of the offerings presented to him. However, after she realises her mistake and apologises to him, he blesses her with a boon to be revered as the holy tulsi plant in the future.
A demon called Shankhachura overcomes several obstacles to reach Tulsi while she is busy praying to Lord Krishna. Subsequently, he tries to get her to accept his marriage proposal.
Shankhachura conquers the earth and subterranean realms without lifting a weapon or causing any bloodshed thanks to his wife, Tulsi. However, when it comes to attacking the gods' abode, she is not as supportive and wants him to be less ambitious.
Having replaced Indra as the king of heaven, Shankhachura is confident that no one can snatch his new throne. His rule threatens the worshipping of gods and the existence of everything good in the world.
While Shankhachura is about to fight a crucial battle, Tulsi prays for his safety and victory. However, his chances appear bleak with Kartikeya calling the shots on the other side.
Shankhachura gains the upper hand in the battle against Kartikeya and his army thanks to the divine protective armour, the sacred flute, and Tulsi's purity and devotion.
Conquering Shankhachura becomes quite a challenge for Kartikeya and his army thanks to Tulsi's purity and devotion. The only hope left for the gods is Lord Ganesha and Lord Shiva.
Shankhachura's battle so far may have been a breeze but things are not the same when it comes to facing the ferocious Lord Shiva. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha tackles Durasad, who is Bhasmasura's son and Shankhachura's ally.
Defeating Shankhachura is impossible for the gods as long as Tulsi remains pativrata and he is protected by the divine armour. While Lord Shiva is unwilling to release any weapon on him, Lord Vishnu stands a chance of turning things around.
Lord Vishnu facilitates the fulfilment of Tulsi's divine destiny of turning into the revered tulsi plant. However, he also ends up getting cursed for having tricked Shankhachura into returning the divine armour.
Lord Ganesha is troubled by the blurry flashbacks of his first avatar as Sage Kashyap's son Mahotkat Vinayak. He is deeply moved on learning that his mother from that life has been waiting for aeons to see him again.
Lord Ganesha sets out to meet Aditi, who was his mother in his previous birth as Mahotkat Vinayak. On his way, he narrates the story of that life to Mushak Ji.
Lord Ganesha recounts why he was meant to separate from Aditi after his purpose was fulfilled in his past life. He also describes how she was counting the days until he was born as her son.
Lord Ganesha recounts his affectionate bond with Aditi and the heroic deeds of his first avatar. He also talks about the time when he considered postponing his mission because of his attachment to her.
Lord Ganesha recounts how Mahotkat Vinayak and Aditi overcame their fear of separation so that he could fulfil the purpose of his life. He adds that the mother-son duo bade each other farewell before his trip to Kashi.
While narrating the story, Lord Ganesha compares Goddess Parvati's pining for him with that of Aditi's for Mahotkat Vinayak. Later, he recounts his encounter with a demon family.
After the failure of their sinister plan, Narantak and Devantak assign Koopak and Kandar with the responsibility of killing Mahotkat Vinayak. The duo tries to get the job done by pushing the elephant-headed deity into a death well.
Living under his brother and sister-in-law's heels, an ardent devotee wishes to have Mahotkat Vinayak over for a meal at their house. Unaware of this, the elephant-headed deity is put up in the palace of the king of Kashi.
Jyotishasura manoeuvres the king into believing that Mahotkat Vinayak is a threat to his throne. Meanwhile, the elephant-headed deity fulfils his devotee's wish by visiting him for a meal.
Mahotkat Vinayak brings about some changes in his devotees' lives. The king, too, ultimately ends up realising that he made a mistake by doubting the elephant-headed deity's intentions.
After protecting the king from Jyotishasura's attack, Mahotkat Vinayak heads to the battlefield to take on Narantak. It is only a matter of time before he fulfils his divine destiny.
Mahotkat Vinayak is on his way back to be with his mother Aditi when Mahaganpati appears in front of them. The deity reminds the mother-son duo of the condition according to which they are no longer allowed to meet each other.
Goddess Parvati brings Lord Ganesha back with her after blessing him and Aditi with boons associated with Sankashti. Subsequently, Goddess Laxmi visits Kailash with a wish that seems unlikely to come true.
Lord Vishnu narrates how King Chakrapani and Queen Ugra were blessed with a child who would cause the manifestation of Lord Ganesha's Mayureshwara avatar.
Goddess Parvati is blessed with a boon to birth Mayureshwara, the elephant-headed deity's avatar who would possess Lord Krishna's qualities and bring an end to Sindhu's evil reign.
Fearing for his life, Sindhu sends a ferocious demon to kill Goddess Parvati's son. Little does he realise that he cannot escape his fate no matter what he does.
Goddess Parvati's son, Gunesh, is blamed for the mess that no one knows was caused due to his clash with one of Sindhu's sidekicks. While cleaning everything up, he ends up getting attacked again.
Consuming all the food makes Gunesh look selfish because no one is aware of his motive. Consequently, Goddess Parvati scolds and punishes him.
Gunesh lands in trouble again after being misunderstood by Goddess Parvati. This time, he is taken to Lord Shiva and ends up being asked to meditate for the whole night as punishment.
Gunesh's meeting with his devotee, Rishi Mudgala, is cut short thanks to Parvati and Ahilya. The situation is about to get more challenging for the elephant-headed deity with the arrival of Rishi Durvasa, who is known for his short temper.
Rishi Mudgala's devotion towards the elephant-headed deity remains intact even after he is put through a rigorous test by Rishi Durvasa. Moreover, he is confident of emerging a winner out of all the adversities thrown his way.
Rishi Mudgala experiences the darshan of the elephant-headed deity's divine form. It comes to light that the former is destined to be the creator of Mudgala Purana, a scripture dedicated to Lord Ganesha.
Gunesh protects the inhabitants of the ashram from an attack orchestrated by Sindhu, and proves that he is ready to fulfil his divine purpose.
The demons see glimpses of all deities in Gunesh when he assimilates the divine weapons being used to attack him. The entire army ends up getting defeated, but even this does not prove to be enough to open Sindhu's eyes to the ultimate truth.
Sindhu pays the ultimate price for his arrogance and airheadedness as Mayureshwara Gunesh fulfils his divine purpose by putting an end to his life and tyranny.
Lord Vishnu narrates a story to explain how he came to be known as the preserver of the world created by Lord Brahma. Subsequently, he visits the Ballaleshwar temple with Goddess Lakshmi in the next phase of their journey.
Lord Vishnu narrates how Ballal was burdened with studies at an early age and never got to play outside like other children in the neighbourhood.
Stuck between life and death, Ballal receives help and guidance from the elephant-headed deity. Subsequently, he is miraculously revived, leaving the onlookers and his parents surprised.
Ballal gets in trouble for urging his friends to worship Lord Ganesha. But it does not take too long for the situation to turn around and ultimately the elephant-headed deity is enshrined as Ballaleshwar in Pali.
Lord Vishnu narrates the story of King Abhijit and Queen Gunavati's ill-behaved son, who would ultimately play a part in the events leading to the enshrinement of Lord Ganesha as Chintamani Ganpati in Theur.
Lord Vishnu narrates another short story to explain the significance of Chintamani Ganesh temple. Subsequently, he heads towards the Varadavinayaka temple with Goddess Lakshmi.
