The vexed parents ask Raghava to accompany them only if he agrees to listen to their words. Hopeless Raghava accepts to give up fighting and live like a Saint. They take Raghava to Mantralayam, a relatives' place, and make him become a devotee of Raghavendra Swamy. This entire episode comes as a flashback. Raghava has a pretty fianc called Maha Lakshmi (Shweta Agarwal) in Mantralayam.

Raghava's parents, who forcibly restricted his helping nature, ask him to get rid of his maala and go back to society to serve people.
