Shani

An air of melancholy surrounds Suryadev's wife, Devi Sandhya, who is despondent as she is unable to bear the heat that flows through her husband's body. She steals a magic potion that can replicate objects from its own shadows and uses it to create a clone of herself, Chaya. While the unceasing war between the Asuras and the Devas continue, Shiva decides to summon the Lord of justice to bring order. Shiva instructs the child to be born into Suryadev's home and thus Chaya gives birth to Shani!

Suryadev is furious on seeing his son and questions Chaya's character, as he firmly believes that the baby is not his. Meanwhile, an eclipse is cast over the blazing sun, which surprises all the Gods and makes Suryadev cry out in agony. Suryadev curses the newborn to die the moment a ray of sunlight falls on him. Chaya sets off with the baby on a horse to a forest, where the rays can't reach him. She prays to Lord Shiva to help her name her son and he christens him as, 'Shani'.

Suryadev asks Indira and Vishwakarma to stop fighting as Shiva has summoned a force that will be the keeper of justice. Meanwhile, Chaya returns to Suryadev's fortress and tries to convince him to spare Shani from his curse, but a furious Suryadev commands her to keep Shani away from him. 10 years pass by, when two men arrive at the forest and try to fell a tree. They are shocked to see Shani, who warns them of grave consequences if they cut it down without a proper reason.
