Harischandra Prasad, (Venkatesh) the arbitrator and most respected person in a village, sees through that all the people live happily. Although he has a strong enmity to Singaraju Lingaraju (Anand Raj), vice versa. He is the only opponent to him in the village. Harichandra Prasad has a big family with his wife, Vasundhara (Radhika), three sons, Ravi Prasad, Divakar Prasad, and Bhanu Prasad, daughter, Shanti, two daughters-in-law, and two granddaughters. Though he is being the father of three sons, he dislikes his third son Bhanu (again Venkatesh) because of Bhanu being illiterate but he is a devoted and benevolent son to his father. Bhanu has to do menial household work and has substantially no kinship with family.
