In the village of Kantara, a sacred well holds a secret. A young boy believed to be born of divine will is found inside and adopted by Jabbanna and Baidi, a tribal woman, who names him Berme (again Rishab Shetty). As Berme grows up, he ventures beyond the forest and into the Bangra kingdom's port after an encounter with the newly crowned Kulashekhara and his minister, Bhogendra. There, he and his companions discover that the spices from the forest are being exploited through barter trade. Berme decides to cultivate and trade spices independently to support his people with Kanakavathi's permission.
