Valmiki Story
The film begins with [[Shiva|Siva]] proclaiming to [[Parvati]] that soon vital letters of [[Vishnu]] “Ra” and himself “Ma” are resurrected as [[Rama]], which is feasible by a notorious tribe burglar Raksha. At a point, Raksha strikes on Princess Kalyani, who endears him despite his profession and makes him accompany her. The king is about to gratify Raksha when his identity is unveiled and seized, but he flees with Kalyani’s aid. Amid this, he is shot and secured by a wild girl, Tara, and they crush. Parallelly, Kalyani’s disquiet proceeds for Raksha and nags to knit her. So, Tara tricks by forging her death, accusing Kalyani, who goes to the end of the lunatic. The king pleads with Raksha to secure her. Ergo, he drives her when she is startled to behold Tara alive and splicing Raksha. So, Kalyani leaves her breath, cursing Tara to die by grieving away from her husband. Following, the couple leads a gleeful time when Tara urges “Nagaratna Maala,” the necklace of precious stones of the snakes that Raksha oaths to bestow her with. Learning its presence in the head of the snakes, he decapitates a myriad that plays havoc with [[Seshu|Adi Seshu]]. Next, Raksha detects the necklace on the idol [[Lakshmi]] in [[Ayodhya]] when it desecrates and steals it, and the enraged goddess vanishes it. Consequently, Vishnu affirms they will soon get an ineffable bond with him. Accordingly, he endorses [[Narada]] to mold Raksha into a fit man who proceeds with the “Nagaratna Maala.”
Today, Narada is about to provide it for Raksha if his family would share his sin incurring and asks to confirm. Beyond doubt, Raksha gets hit back when he goes out of remorse and understands the truth of life. Narada enlightens him with “Ashtashari,” who sets him on immense penance. Above, Tara conjoins in his sacred act but dies in between. Following, Narada gets wind of “Rama” before long, who states it to Raksha, and vice versa, “Mara.” Instead, the phonetic anagram circumvents the restriction and his chanting tunes to it. Eras roll by when Siva sheds light on Raksha, nobilitating him as “Valmiki”: one born out of anthills who resides constructing an Ashram. Besides, Vishnu advances in the guise of the tribe to eliminate two demons roaming on earth as birds and ground one for which the second laminates. Spotting it, Valmiki curses him to weep by detaching from his wife. Thus, the universe gets panicky when Vishnu seeks to be calm, glorifying it as a welcome sign of “Ramavatar.” Being aware of the entire episode, Valmiki collapses for his grave sin but recoups with impetus. Finally, the movie ends with Valmiki composing the holy epic ”[[Ramayana]].”
