Synopsis: SHANKAR SITA ANUSUYA is a mix up of stories from Shiv puran and Ramayana. Sati Anusuya(Sulochana) had become very well known for her celestial powers and her stregth as a Sati mata. Uma once asked Shankar if it was true and coaxed him to test her. Accordingly, Bramha, Vishnu(Manhar Desai) and Mahesh went to her ashram in the guise of yogis. Anusuya treated them with due respect but when they expressed a desire for her itself, in a rage she changed them into infants. The respective wives of these Gods, namely, Laxmi, Bhahmini and Uma came to look for them and begged mercy to Anusuya who changed them back to original forms.

Uma went away with Shankar. After few days when Shankar Parvati were going through airways to Kailas, they saw Ram(Mahipal) in Panchwati searching for Sita(Anita Guha) who was abducted by Ravana. Shankar tells Uma that Ram is Vishnu Avtar, but she does not believe him and changes herself as Sita and meets Ram. Vishnu ji recognises Umaji and calls her ‘Hey Mata ji’. Uma is convinced, but Shankar is angry on her. The story has many subplots. The film further depicts Ram Ravan Yudh, Seeta Agni Pariksha, Return to Ayodhya, Sending Sita away and finally Sita taken by Bhoomi after Ashwamedh Yadnya etc. Its almost Ramayan in the second Half.
