Dev Daksha is the prince of Sahashra Nagari and son of King Dev Varma and queen Bedantika. Dev Daksha has two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Among them Gangeyo is the best friend of Dev Daksha. But Gangeyo's Mother, second wife of King Dev Varma, Tamakshi didn't like Dev Daksha and always wanted Gangeyo would be the future king of Sahashra Nagari. But after the accidental death of Dev Varma, Dev Daksha became the king and fell in love with the Devdasi of Lalataksha temple, Souraja. Souraja's Mother Kalabati always kept Souraja away from Acharya Dhiratna as she doesn't want that her daughter will also be a Devdasi like her.
