Plot
Vishnu (Ramkumar) & Saubhagya (Shruti) are a devout couple, who wish for a child. They make a vow of visiting the Navashaktis (9 goddesses in Karnataka) when they are blessed with offspring. Soon, they have 2 children, Prasad (Master Ramprasad) & Devi (Kumari Arpitha). They also become rich & arrogant, forgetting their vow. Their jealous relatives try to poison their children (so that they get all of Vishnu's wealth). Though the children survive, they lose their ability to speak, & become very weak. The couple are then reminded of their long-forgotten vow, & they resolve to complete it. The jealous relatives insist on accompanying them.
First, they all went to visit Chamundeshwari temple in Mysore. As per the vow, the couple climb the hill (on foot) while carrying their children, while their relatives went by vehicle (while laughing at them). The merciful goddess Chamundeshwari (Prema) appeared in the form of a girl & blessed the children so that they could walk.
Then, they all went to Kateel to visit goddess Durga Parameshwari. Here, the evil relatives mix poison in coconut water & gave it to the children, thereby poisoning them. Again, the goddess comes & removes the poison, & saves the children. She then punishes the relatives by sending bumblebees to bite them.
All throughout the journey, the jealous relatives try to kill the children & disrupt the pilgrimage, but each time, their efforts are thwarted by the goddesses. Finally, at Kollur, they resort to black magic. Aided by a sorcerer, they again kill the children. At this point, the eight goddesses merge in Mookambika & kill the sorcerer & relatives. The children get back their voices.
