This story is based on the supernatural thriller by the veteran Tamil writer Indra Soundarrajan, The Palace of Kottaipuram (Kottai Purathu Veedu) which was also made into a successful daily soap under the same name in 1990.

The story begins in the year 1868, with a woman named Lali carrying her child, trying to escape from King Vikram Singh (Manoj Verma) and his guards.

Lali curses the evil king that all his future successors will die before celebrating their 30th birthday and his lineage will come to an end.

On Yashvardhan's 30th birthday, Veer visits the palace only to find that his brother is in hiding waiting for the curse to pass.

Fearing for his own death, Veer orders his friend Kedar to drop Archie at the airport and instructs her to leave.

However, on receiving a call from an unknown source, Archie is alerted when the caller warns of Nagveli peasants planning an attack on Veer.

Ill omens start to haunt the villagers due to Veer's absence with humans being converted into earthen lamps by Kaal Bhairav.

When Veer returns to the village he is asked to flog his family members with a whip as a punishment for violating the rules of the curse.

To Archie's shock, when Veer fulfils the punishment, she witnesses the earthen lamps kept inside the shrine of the temple, being covered in a thick cloud of smoke, getting replaced by the villagers.

The brides are supposed to pass a tough test which could even lead to their deaths and the survivor would be chosen as Veer's wife.

Veer hides the other three women in Kaal Bhairav's temple and decides to face the test with Archie.

As a part of the test they are required to go to Laali's abandoned house and fetch black mud from the idol of Lord Kaal Bhairav .

When they reach there they experience paranormal activities and Veer sees the headless spirits of his ancestors praying along with Laali's soul in front of the idol of Lord Kaal Bhairav.

Veer is rescued by a woman named Bhairavi (Barkha Sengupta) who claims to be Kaal Bhairav's daughter.

Meanwhile, Kedar who is looking for Archie in the forest, sees the same dog that everyone presumed to be Officer Sumer Singh and also spots Bhairavi with a woman dressed up as Lali's drifting soul.

Archie and Sumer are abducted by Bhairavi and see her taking orders from a man wearing Kaal Bhairav's mask whom she calls "Bhagwan".

Archie discovers that Bhagwan is, in fact, Veer's mother (Maharani) who on the advice of a taantrik is trying to kill him to break the curse.

Lord Kaal Bhairav sends Archie a signal in a dream helping her find the bearded man who is revealed to be Rajguru in disguise and has been keeping the royal princesses hostage and killed Kedar to avenge what was done to his sister, Lali.

It is then revealed that the real mastermind is Brahmanand, the evil heir of Lali who is conspiring against the royal family by making different people pawns in his game.
