Plot

[edit]

The film begins with a benevolent couple, Nagireddy & Gouamma, in Ramapuram village near Srisailam. The childlessness perturbs them, which ends after visiting & bowing before Srisailam Mallikarjuna on Maha Shivaratri. One night, Mallikarjuna appeared to Nagireddy's couple in a dream, stating to bestow a devoted daughter. Later, they are delightful to the baby girl, titling her Mallamma being boon by Mallikarjuna. The pair raises their progeny with dote; from childhood, she is an ardent devotee of Siva.

Years roll by, and her parents perform a prosperous alliance for Mallamma with a guy named Baramareddy, the son of affluent Hemareddy from Siddhapuram. Soon after, Mallamma steps into her in-laws' house, and their wealth & glory magnifies. She continues her charity therein, too, which irks her shrew mother-in-law & sister-in-law, who subjects her to torments with scorns of households the hard work. Yet, Mallamma bears it up and never turns up her adoration for Siva. So, the virago shifts Mallamma to herd the cows but cannot hinder her spirituality. Above all, they blemish a taint to Mallamma before Baramanna, who enrages and walks with a knife to butcher her. However, viewing her godliness on the Lord, Baramanna declares Mallamma a sage and drops the weapon. At last, the entire family pleads pardon from Mallamma, who moves on as a wanderer preaching "Shivatathvam." Finally, the movie ends happily with Mallamma landing at Kailasa.
