Synopsis

The story opens in 13th century where the Kakatiyas are ruling the Orugallu land. Its king is Ganapati Devudu who had gone to war with other kingdom. Somulladevi/ Somamba the queen of the kingdom is pregnant and hopes high of bearing a baby boy, the heir of the kingdom.

Tirumala Devi, sister of Somamba pretends to be nice but plots against her with her brother and her brother's wife Sumati only to make her son Viswanath king of the kingdom and she herself becomes Rajmata. Ganapathidevudu is a very kind and modest king but he continuously sees a girl in the war whereas a chained woman predicts that a girl will be born for Ganapatidevudu and Somulladevi.

Goons attack Somamba but she manages to escape and finally, Somamba gives birth to a healthy baby girl whereas Sumati Devi's family astrologer predicts that it is a girl. Tirumala, Hari Hara dev, Murari Dev try their level best to know whether it is a girl or a boy but soon Kalluri(family astrologer) kills himself. (actually it is not a suicide, he is killed by Rajguru and Mandakini) and leaves a suicide note behind conveying them that it is a boy and he killed himself because he felt guilty as he did not lie in his whole life.

10 years later:

Rudradevudu, a kind and helpful one was brought up by Ganapathi Dev with warrior skills. Tirumala devi continuously attacks Rudra but she manages to escape. Later, she goes to Gurukula to study and qualifies in the Gurukul entrance test. Her wedding is arranged with Ganapati Devudu's friend's daughter but Somulladevi opposes it as she cannot accept a girl marrying a girl.

Tirumala devi's son Vishwa tries to frame Rudrudu of theft but Veerabhadra and Gona ganna reddy [Rudrudu's friends] manipulates Vishwa into saying the truth to their guru gnaneshwar. Tirumala tries to poison Rudra's drink but fails.
