As the Ashtavinayak journey continues in Sony SAB’s Ganesh Kartikey, Pali emerges as the holy ground where Ballaleshwar defeats the sin of anger

Sony SAB’s mythological saga Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey traces the sacred journey of Lord Ganesh (Nirnay Samadhiya) as he sets out on the revered Ashtavinayak Aastha Yatra. Weaving spiritual splendor with warm, intimate family moments, the show captures the divine parivaar’s experiences of love, duty, inner conflicts, and the power of forgiveness.

In the upcoming episodes, in the village of Pali lives a young boy named Bhalal (Het Makwana) with his parents, Indumati (Ankita Pandey) and Kalyan (Shashank Darne ). As foretold by Sindhu, the vice of anger takes form as Krodhasur (Yashminder Singh), spreading pain and grief across the village. Broken by suffering, the villagers lose faith, stop worshipping God, and shut the temple doors. However, Bhalal refuses to abandon his devotion and declares that no matter what happens, he will remain Ganesh’s true devotee. Enraged by his faith, the villagers, including his own father, turn against him and beat him mercilessly, yet Bhalal continues to pray without fear. Witnessing his devotee’s pain, Ganesh (Nirnay Samadhiya) descends in human form as Vinayak and provokes the villagers to call Krodhasur and punish Bhalal so that no one worships Ganesh again. Though hurt, Bhalal tells Vinayak that whether he lives or dies, his devotion will not change. When Krodhasur tortures and finally swallows Bhalal, the divine heat within becomes unbearable, revealing that Ganesh had entered his devotee. Ganesh then reveals his true form, defeats Krodhasur, and frees the village from anger and suffering, declaring this sacred land as the place of the Ballaleshwar Temple, born from Bhalal’s unwavering faith. Meanwhile, as the next sin of lust begins to rise, loyalty is tested and Ganesh prepares to guide lost souls back to devotion.

Nirnay Samadhiya, who plays Lord Ganesh, shared, “Ganesh is not only fighting Krodhasur in this track, he is responding to the pain of his devotee. When anger spreads, people lose faith very quickly. Ganesh steps in not just to punish, but to remind everyone that true devotion is about trust and patience. This phase shows that even in the darkest moments, faith can protect you if it stays pure.”
