==Premise==
The series follows the story of Aaryamaan (Mukesh Khanna), the warrior Prince of the human inhabited Thar Empire of the Aariyana [[galaxy]], situated millions of [[light year]]s away from Earth. Aaryamaan, son of Emperor Jarant and the Emperor's second wife Queen Rasa, is the rightful heir to the throne of the Thar Empire. When Aaryamaan was born, the drought-struck Aariyana experienced its first showers in many years. The distressed civilians looked up to the boy and believed that he is their saviour and will tide them over in all adverse situations.

However, Aaryamaan's step-mother and Emperor Jarant's first-wife queen Nasa gets extremely jealous of Rasa and Aaryamaan. She also gives birth to a mutated non-human child simultaneously when Rasa gives birth to Aaryamaan. A further jealous Nasa makes more than one attempt to kill the baby Aaryamaan. Queen Rasa realizes that as long as Aaryamaan lives with her in Thar, there is danger to his life. She instead instructs a helper robot called Tobo to take the child to planet Gurukshetra, where the 750-year-old Hoshin, a direct descendant of Aariyana would raise Aaryamaan. Hoshin trains Aaryamaan in fighting and other practices of a warrior. After learning all he has to learn from Hoshin, Aaryamaan receives a special armour suit, which can be opened from its showcase only by Aaryamaan's hand print. Aaryamaan first visits his Thar planet and finds out that Emperor Jarant has been overthrown by Nasa, appointing her half-human, half-beast son as a dummy king while making her the Royal Mother. Aaryamaan meets his parents, who have been imprisoned and chained to work in the mines of Thar. Unable to do anything at the moment, Aaryamaan sets out to various planets in search of a powerful weapon called Chandrahaas, to win back his lost kingdom.<ref name="hindu2002" /><ref name="indiatimes2002" /> Along the way, has to confront his stepmother Queen Nasa, Shukrant, Mahasamant Naarak and other evil villains.<ref name="hindu1" />

According to Mukesh Khanna, unlike [[Shaktimaan]], the drama had a wider appeal, targeting all sections of television viewers in [[India]] and its production values are ten times bigger than that of the ''Shaktimaan''. He also described the show as the "Indian version of the famous [[Star Wars]]".<ref name="indiatimes2002"/><ref name=fc>{{Cite web|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/indias-answer-to-star-wars-inside-the-2002-doordarshan-space-fantasy-that-cost-17-lakhs-an-episode/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200106165513/https://www.filmcompanion.in/indias-answer-to-star-wars-inside-the-2002-doordarshan-space-fantasy-that-cost-17-lakhs-an-episode/|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 January 2020|title='India's Answer To Star Wars': Inside The 2002 Doordarshan Space Fantasy That Cost ₹17 Lakh An Episode|first=Gayle|last=Sequeira|date=5 January 2020}}</ref> The special effects were created by Crest Communications.
