Brahmarshi Viswamitra Story
Emperor Kaushika renounces his throne and, through formidable penance, becomes Brahmarshi Viswamitra. The film interweaves his clashes and reconciliations with Vasishta, his testing of Harishchandra and Chandramathi, and his guidance of Rama–Lakshmana and Shakuntala–Dushyanta. Tempted by Menaka yet steadfast, Viswamitra ultimately channels his spiritual might for universal welfare, extolling the Gayatri Mantra before attaining salvation among the Saptarishi.
