Plot

The film begins with Ravana (Vemuri Gaggaiah) trouncing the universe which establishes him as autocratic. Once on his journey, he febrile to the beauty of Rambha (Sowdamini) and molests her. Being cognizant of it, Nalakubara curses him to burn into asks when he aspires to possess any woman against her wish. However, his ferocities peek at the summit, when all the creators bow before Lord Vishnu one that gives assurance of salvation to eliminate the monster. Meanwhile, Goddess Lakshmi takes birth as Vedavathi (Chandrakala) on Earth. At one juncture, Ravana lusts on her when she immediately sacrifices herself with a curse to be reborn as a cause for the destruction of his dynasty. Thereafter, Vedavathi takes birth in Lanka which appalls Mandodari (Kamakshi). So, she discards the baby in a box and buries it on either side of the sea. Eventually, Dasaratha (T. Venkateswarlu), the king of Ayodhya is perturbed as childless, so, he conducts Putrakameshti Yaaga with his 3 wives and they are blessed with 4 sons who are the reincarnations of Lord Vishnu, Adhi Sesha, Shankha, & Chakra as Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, & Shatragnya respectively. Parallelly, Janaka (Parupalli Subbarao) the king of Mithila while tilling the ground, finds the box enclosing the baby whom he rears as Seeta. Time passes, Saint Viswamitra (Ballijepalli Lakshmikantham) arrives and seeks to send Rama (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) & Lakshmana (B. N. Raju) for the protection of his Yaga. Soon, Viswamitra endorses them with powerful armaments which destroy Tataki & Marichasubhahulu and accomplishes the Yaga. Just as, Janaka announces Swayamvaram to Seeta, learning it, Viswamitra moves to Mithila along with Rama & Lakshmana. On the way, Rama makes a stone form of Ahalya into normal. Here, the challenge is to affix the world-renowned bow of Lord Siva. Nevertheless, Ravana too arrives without an invitation but fails and is humiliated. All at once, Rama lefts the bow and breaks it. Knowing it, enraged Parasurama (again Vemuri Gaggaiah) lands at Mithila and confronts Rama. Later, he realizes him as his reincarnation and backs up. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the phenomenal wedding of Seeta & Rama.
