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!
