[2] Set in the year of 1993, the story begins with a newly wedded couple, Suhasini and Mahendar going to a Ram temple at Ramnamgarh to hand over Suhasini's wedding chain to the idol of Lord Rama and receive the deity's blessings.

The train stops at the station and Mahendar's loyal driver Birju comes to fetch them and to drive them till the temple.

She trips off a door and falls down the stairs that lead into the temple's basement that happens to be a Tantrik named Kalasur's lair.

As soon as Kalasur sees her, he gladly welcomes her inside and offers to spend the night with her and make love.

This is followed by a struggle by Suhasini to escape the Tantrik's clutches and a duel between him and her husband Mahendar.

Meanwhile, Suhasini reaches the palace of Thakur Prithvi Singh Suryavanshi and asks them to save her husband from Kalasur.

Just then, Kalasur arrives there in Mahendar's disguise and Suhasini, scared out of her wits, pleads everybody to get the Tantrik at the temple arrested.

As everyone goes in search of the Tantrik, Kalasur takes Suhasini in a bedroom inside the palace and tries making love to her.

The priest traps Kalasur inside a circular ring of holy ash on the floor.

Next, Mahendar threatens to bury the Tantrik alive, but he says that his skeleton would rise from underneath the ground to revive him.

Suhasini requests Kalasur to leave Mahendar unharmed but he pays no heed and insists on having a one-night stand with her.

This invokes the ferocity and strength inside Suhasini who lifts up a villager's axe and chops off Kalasur's right arm that had grabbed Mahendar's throat.

Thakur Prithvi Singh Suryavanshi is shown at Mahendar's house with his wife Uma and brother Vikram to discuss a matrimonial alliance between his brother Vikram's son Aman and Mahendar's elder daughter Karuna.

Raj and others then manage to rescue Karuna and take her to the old and desolate temple that used to be the Tantrik's lair 25 years ago.

On seeing Karuna distraught and weak due to a near death experience, Gauri insists on taking her inside the temple.

The man is revealed to be Dharam, Raj's friend whose father Lakha is rendered mentally challenged due to reasons unknown to anyone.

When the Tantrik finally finds his body, all hell breaks loose in Karuna and Gauri's life.

Kalasur with his new aides Mishka, Ajay and Karuna is successful in straining Gauri's relationship with other family members and Raj.

After a series of incidents, Raghav and Vaidehi find about their past and connection and decide to marry.
