SYNOPSIS OF DRAMA

Kansa was told in a prophecy that the eighth child of Devaki would kill him. A loving brother, he didn't want to kill Devaki, and so instead imprisoned both Devaki and her husband, Vasudeva. In the confines of the prison, Devaki repeatedly conceived, and an enraged Kansa murdered the first six children. The seventh child, Balarama, was saved when he was moved to Rohini's womb. The eighth child born to Devaki and Vasudeva was Krishna. Krishna was saved from Kansa's wrath and vasudeva took him to gokul and raised by a cowherd couple, Nanda and Yasoda.There he performed many of his baal leela’s,the favourite being makahn chori and raas leela spreading the message of love as shown in the drama. After Krishna grows up and returns to the kingdom, Kansa is eventually killed by Krishna, as was originally predicted by the self-fulfilling prophecy, and Ugrasena reinstated as king of Mathura.
