Groups of Primitive humans used to search for their food by going to the forests and used to catch fishes from the river bodies to eat them. One day there was a fight between two groups of humans’. They started attacking each other. Suddenly Lord Mahadev appears in front of the two groups and chases away the group that started the fight. People start chanting his name and people start looking up to him as a leader. 

Mahadev is very powerful and intelligent and in his reign, women are given equal status as men. One day five sisters namely Gori Rakami, Kali Rakami, Misal Kambi, Dev Mogra, and Kansara join Mahadev’s group. Lord Mahadev catches a glimpse of Kansara, the smallest one who is handicap and makes one more declaration that women no longer will go in search of food and now on will only decorate the caves. Kansara grows up and she along with her sisters starts visiting rivers banks. She finds dried flowers near the water banks and starts to sow its seeds nearby which turn into crops. Mahadev notices this and gives Kansara the name of Kansara Mai as she grows edible crops. And now everyone grows crops, stays in huts and doesn't go in Jungles in search of food, and starts agriculture in the leadership of Lord Mahadev and Kansara Mai.
