Publishers Summary:

Meluha is a near perfect empire, created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. However, the once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis who had joined forces with the Nagas, a cursed race with physical deformities. The present king of Meluha, Daksha, sent his emissaries to North India in Tibet, to welcome the tribes that live there, to Meluha. One of the tribes invited were the Gunas, whose chief Shiva is a brave warrior and protector. Shiva accepts the proposal and moves to Meluha with his tribe. They reach the city of Srinagar and are received there by Ayurvati, the Chief of Medicine of the Meluhans. Shiva and his tribe are impressed with the Meluhan's way of living. On their first night of stay at Srinagar, the Gunas woke with a deep fever and sweating. The Meluhans, under Ayurvati's orders carry on the healing process and she finds that Shiva is the only one devoid of these symptoms and that his throat had turned blue. The Meluhans announce Shiva as the Neelkanth, their fabled saviour.

Shiva is then taken to Devagiri, the capital city of Meluha, where he meets Daksha. While staying there, Shiva and his comrades Nandi and Veer Bhadra encounter a strange woman, who though extremely beautiful, had a look of penance on her face. They later came to know that it was Princess Sati, the daughter of Daksha and is a vikarma, an untouchable in this life due to sins of their past births. Shiva tries to court her, but she rejects his advances. Ultimately Shiva wins her heart and they decide to get married, even though the vikarma rule prohibits them from doing so. Enraged by the so called obsolete law, Shiva declares himself as the Neelkanth and swears to dissolve the vikarma law. Daksha allows Sati to get married to Shiva, amidst much joy and happiness.

During his stay in Devagiri, Shiva comes to know of the treacherous wars that the Chandravanshis are carrying on the Meluhans. He also meets Bŗahaspati, the Chief Inventor of the Meluhans. He invites Shiva and the royal family on an expedition to Mount Mandar, where the legendary Somras is manufactured, utilizing the waters of the Saraswati river. Shiva learns that the potion which made his throat turn blue was actually undiluted Somras, which taken in its pure form could be lethal. However, Shiva was unaffected, which was the first sign that he was the Neelkanth. He also learns that Somras was the reason why the Meluhans lived for so many years. Brahaspati and Shiva develop a close friendship, but the royal family returned to Devagiri. One morning, the whole of Meluha woke up to loud noises coming from Mount Mandar. Shiva and his troop reach the hill to find that almost a part of Mandar has been blasted off, and many of the inventors have been killed. There was no sign of Brahaspati, but Shiva found the insignia of the Nagas, confirming their presence in the treacherous wars of the Chandravanshis.

Enraged by his, Shiva declares war on the Chandravanshis. With consultation from the Devagiri Chief Minister Kanakhla and the Head of Meluhan Army, Parvateshwar, Shiva advanced towards Dharmakhet, the border area of Swadweep, the land of the Chandravanshis. A fierce battle is fought between the Meluhans and the Swadweepans, but ultimately the Meluhans win. The Chandravanshi king is captured and brought in front of Daksha. He becomes enraged seeing the Neelkanth and is taken away. It is the Chandravanshi princess who tells them that they had a similar legend that the Neelkanth will come forward to save their land. Hearing this, Shiva is dumbfounded and is utterly distressed. With Sati he visits the famous Ram temple of Ayodhya, the capital of Swadweep. There he meets the priest from whom he comes to know about the karma, his fate, and his choices in life, which will guide him. After talking to him as Shiva comes out of the temple, he hears a scream. Running to the location he sees in horror as a group of Nagas kidnap Sati and run with them.
