Summary: The film begins, Queen Bhoolakshmi (Hemalatha) praying to Lord Shiva for children and acquires a boon. The Lord orders her to take a fruit from the tree in the front of the temple. To reach, she steps on snake anthill when King Nagendra inside becomes furious, tries to bite her but she requests him to leave until she becomes a mother and he agrees. Bhoolakshmi is blessed with 7 daughters and dies. After her death, King Navabhoja Raju (C.S.R.) remarries Manikyamba (Suryakala) to take care of the children, but the shrew woman harasses the kids and also goads the King to leave the girls in the forest. Bhoolakshmi's aura saves them and they grow up. Years roll by, Bhoolakshmi's brother King Ramavardhi (A. V. Subba Rao) sends his seven sons in search of his niece. In the forest, the younger prince Karyavardhi (N. T. Rama Rao) spots the last girl Balanagamma (Anjali Devi) and both of them fall in love. Now the seven sisters marry the seven princes and Karyavardhi & Balanagamma are blessed with a baby boy. Meanwhile, the wicked wizard Mayala Marathi (S. V. Ranga Rao) challenges his paramour Rani Sangu (Raja Sulochana) to show a beautiful woman in the universe and kidnaps Balanagamma from her palace. After that, he turns Karyavardhi and his army who confronts him, into statues. Here Balanagamma tries to commit suicide when Bhoolakshmi's aura again protects and explains that her son at the age of 12 will rescue her. At present, Balanagamma plots and resists Marathi in the name of vow Vratha for 12-year to which Marathi agrees. Time passes, Balanagamma's son Balavardhi (Master Satyanarayana) learns that his parents have been held captive by Mayala Marathi. Thereupon, Balavardhi starts, enters the Marathi's den, meets his mother and breakouts the life secret of Marathi. Soon, he sets off on an adventurous journey that takes him across the seven seas to bring the parrot in which lies the Marathi's life. Finally, he eliminates Marathi, frees his parents and returns home to be anointed as the Prince.
