Devi, a Nagini from the Nagaloka comes to Earth on the day of an eclipse with her friends to perform a special pooja. Naginis must return before the eclipse starts, otherwise, they lose their power until the eclipse completes. However, Devi is distracted by Dantra, an evil Naga who had been punished by Nagadeva, the righteous snake king, earlier and was sent to hell as a punishment. Dantra imprisons Devi with fire during the eclipse while her other friends return to Nagaloka before the eclipse.
Devi is saved by Suseela's father who is killed by Dantra in the process. Devi decides to save Suseela from her relatives as an act of reciprocation. She plans to marry Suseela with her cousin Raghava but they are unaware of their relationship. Raghava and Suseela fall in love. Devi patches the broken relationship between their families and they get married.
Nagadeva appears before Devi and commands her to return to Nagaloka. Devi refuses as she intends to stay back to protect Suseela. She promises Nagadeva that she would return once Suseela gives birth to a child because the child would be a Godly blessed one which saves Sussela from Dantra. Nagadeva accepts and gives her power which can even bring back the lost life. Vijay, Raghava's younger brother loves Devi but she avoids him.
In the meantime, Suseela becomes pregnant and everyone is happy. Dantra, with the help of another evil, imprisons Devi for a while and attacks Suseela. Suseela falls from the stairs, injures herself and the baby dies after getting hit. Devi with the help of Nagadeva's power resurrects the baby. Suseela gives birth to a boy and on its naming ceremony, Dantra confronts Devi that the child was born at an inauspicious time therefore, Raghava's life is under threat. Devi postpones her departure to Nagaloka as a result.
In order to save Raghava, Devi makes Sussela perform pooja to the eight manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi. They bless Sussela to have a long life with her husband. Devi appears before them and informs them about Dantra's curse. They offer Devi a solution. When someone performs a pooja for goddess Durga in Himalayas, she will protect her from all the evils. As humans can't survive in the heights of the Himalayas for long, Devi decides to perform the pooja on behalf of Suseela. However, the Ashta Lakshmis tell her that she is not eligible for the task, as only a member of Suseela's family can perform the pooja.
Devi asks Suseela to perform pooja in her home for nine days continuously and leaves. Devi marries Vijay hurriedly and leaves for the Himalayas without his knowledge. Vijay shares his joy with his family but no one believes him. He goes in search of Devi, who is at a small Durga shrine in the mountains. Devi is about to complete her pooja but on the final day (which happens to be a day of the solar eclipse), before Durga appears in front of her, Dantra imprisons Vijay and compels Devi to come out of the temple. The eclipse starts and Devi loses her power. She reveals herself to Vijay who helps her to reach the temple.
Devi performs the final pooja. Dantra disguises himself as Raghava and arrives at Suseela's home. He asks her to come to bed but she resists. Vijay and Raghava (Dantra) confront each other. Devi, disappointed that Durga didn't appear, commits suicide by burning herself. Durga appears, resurrects Devi from her ashes, and helps Devi to kill Dantra, and Raghava is saved by his friend. Nagadeva arrives and Devi bids adieu and leaves. Vijay feels for Devi. Suddenly, Nagadeva appears again and gives back Devi to him as she is not an unmarried Nagini anymore.
