Naag Panchami

(1972)

Presiding over Naaglok, Mahadevi Mansa (Shashikala) finds out that her father is Bhagwan Shri Shivji (Manhar Desai). She goes to meet him, her siblings, Bhagwan Shri Ganesh and Bhagwan Shri Kartikeya; as well as her mother, Devi Maa Parvati (Vatsala Deshmukh). It is here she finds out that the entire family is worshiped, and insists that humans also worship her. Shivji informs her that she must convince his main devotee, Maharaj Chandradhar (Prithviraj Kapoor), and then only can she be worshiped. She goes to him but he refuses to worship her, and in anger she slays all of his six sons. She subsequently relents and permits him to sire one more son, Lakshmendra (Ashish Kumar), with the hopes that he will change his mind and also include her in his prayers. Years later, the son has grown up, gets married to Behula (Jayshree Gadkar), but still Chandradhar refuses to place her Kalash next to her father's, so she has his son killed. A devastated Behula decides to tour all Char Dhams...
