== Plot ==<br />
Kamaroopan is a lustful king who faces the curse of Goddess [[Parvati]] and is reborn as a common jeweller in the town of Gokulam. The jeweller happens to set his eyes on a ''[[Devadasi]]'' named Anuradha and tries to woo her. Anuradha, on the other hand, was a singer-dancer in her previous birth and a devotee of Parvati. She was cursed by sage [[Narada]] for displeasing him and is reborn as Anuradha. The jeweller keeps trying to seduce Anuradha not realising the actions he had committed in his previous birth. To settle the matter, [[Krishna]] rids both the jeweller and the ''Devadasi'' of their curses.<ref name=BFTPhindu /><br />
