The film begins with the Pandavas thanking Lord Krishna (Kanta Rao) after successfully performing ''Rajasuya Yagam'' for his support. On the other side, Duryodhana (S. V. Ranga Rao) is humiliated and raging with anger at the insults heaped on him in the ''Mayasabha''. Sakuni (Mudigonda Lingamurthy) consoles him and tells him that they can avenge it by inviting Dharma Raja (Gummadi) for a dice game. Dharmaraja loses everything in the dice game, including himself, his brothers and Draupadi (Savitri), who are subjected to great humiliation by Dussasana (Mikkilineni) on the orders of Duryodhana. The Pandavas are forced into exile after Dharmaraja loses again in the dice game. During their ''Aranyavaasam'', Bheema (N. T. Rama Rao) encounters Anjaneya and brings the flower ''Sowgandhika Pushpam'' to fulfill Draupadi's wish.
