After a while, the idol of the supreme deity has been hidden in the forest to prevent invulnerable to invaders. In the posterior, several attempts are made to retrieve the deity for the prosperity of the territory but in avail and generations pass on. Presently, Chakradeva Rayalu / Chakri the current successor studies abroad and backs knitting a North Indian girl, Sohini Agarwal. Spotting her, Chakri’s father Viswanatha Rayalu is eerily as she exactly resembles Lakshmi wife of his elder brother Veera Narasimharayalu.

Apart from that, Viswanatha Rayalu is always pursued by the temple's main priest Venkatacharya to complete the ritual via Chakradeva Rayalu which intimidates him. One day, Chakri asks Sohini to dress up like his aunt to surprise everyone and she does so. But deplorably, she becomes into a frenzy and slaughters Viswanatha Rayalu. Later, Sohini walks to the ancestral house of Chakri where he views strange supernatural events. On a tip-off, Venkatacharya Chakri contacts and calls a sacred saint from the Sri Chakra Pettam who exposes the spirit inside Sohini. Stunningly, it is Lakshmi that gives the revelation.

25 years ago, Veera Narasimharayalu is an arbiter of the zone who is esteemed as a deity. During his reign, that area is flourishing from four sides. Lakshmi is his devoted & dedicated wife while eternal love blossoms between them. Viswanatha Rayalu is malevolent and invariably begrudge about his vogue. Anyhow, he stays still, waiting for a spot, and poses as his true blue. Now Veera Narasimharayalu is conscious that in his realm people are still in poverty and the only solution for it is the installation of a deity. Hence, he determines to carry out the ritual but it indicates a risk. For the generations whoever set his heart on ritual are fallen to sudden death.

Despite that, Veera Narasimharayalu begins the ritual by renaming himself as Naga Penchalayya. In the act, he is backstabbed to deathblow by Viswanatha Rayalu to conquer his position. Before leaving his breath, he takes an oath to accomplish the task. Whereupon, Lakshmi pledges to finish the undertaking as Naga Penchalamma. Then, Viswanatha Rayalu slays her too along with the family. As of today, Lakshmi's soul proclaims that Chakradeva Rayalu is born in the constituent of Veera Narasimharayalu who has to fulfill their dreams. At last, the idol installation is magnificently done and Lakshmi's soul mingles in the universe. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the public giving high applause to the sacred sacrifice of Veera Narasimharayalu & Lakshmi which is immortalized in history.
