Background

Manjunatha is an incarnation of "Lord Shiva". Manju means snow and Natha means lord. Since Shiva lives in kailasa (now called himalayas), and he is the lord of that loka, he is called Manjunatha. Manjunatha is one of the most common name in Karnataka state for males and Manjula for females. Both are commonly called by a shorter name "Manju". This is mostly because of Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatha Swamy located in Sri Kshethra Dharmasthala.
Plot
Manjunatha (Arjun Sarja) is an atheist, but a good person helping others in need and fighting evil and so even though Manjunatha hates his namesake Lord Manjunatha (Chiranjeevi), the latter loves his would be devotee. Manjunatha meets Kathyayini (Soundarya) a to-become devadasi and marries her. Soon they beget a son who like his mother is a staunch devotee of Lord Manjunatha.
After marriage Manjunatha slowly transforms into a great devotee of Lord Manjunatha and with his devotion wins the hearts of everybody including the local King, Ambikeswara Maharaju (Ambareesh) who invites him to his court where he felicitates Manjunatha much to Manjunatha's dislike where the king realises that Manjunatha is going to die.
In the meantime Manjunatha starts a koti linga pooja. Manjunatha is also troubled by his enemies and is aided by Lord Manjunatha who comes in various disguises to save his devotee and help him and his wife attain salvation.
