Her father Indra, believes that the marriage will strengthen his position in Heaven as his daughter, the offspring of the King of Gods shall be marrying the Commander-in-Chief of the Gods Devasena, believes she wants to follow her heart and dreams - she does not want to bind herself to a man who she knows has already given away his heart to another woman, the feisty tribal huntress Valli. She does not want to be constantly overshadowed by the fame and splendor of Skanda nor be used as a political pawn by her father in his never-ending chess games to retain his often waning power in Heaven Devasena is talented, blessed with intellect, beauty and a pleasant temperament but she has never been one who enjoyed war and hunting. Devasena fears that with her deep interest in more nurturing spheres, she may never develop camaraderie with the War God as the tribal huntress Valli had, a man who had earnt fame and name for his celebrated military exploits across the three worlds Little does Devasena know that behind the intimidating reputation of the "War God" was a man who was witty, compassionate and loving - little does she realize that his heart may have been touched by Valli first but she would always have a special irreplaceable place in it…
