Renuka or Yellamma (Marathi: श्री रेणुका/ येल्लुआई, Kannada: ಶ್ರೀ ಎಲ್ಲಮ್ಮ ರೇಣುಕಾ, Telugu: శ్రీ రేణుక/ ఎల్లమ్మ) is worshiped as the Goddess (devi) of the fallen, in the Hindu pantheon. Yellamma is a patron goddess of rural folk of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Her devotees have revered her as the "Mother of the Universe" or Jagadamba. Legends say that Yellamma is the incarnation of Kali, who on one hand symbolizes the death of ego, and on the other hand is the mother who is compassionate about her children.
Yellamma is worshipped mostly in South India, including Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh and Maharastra, where the deity is known by many names: Mahankali, Jogamma, Somalamma, Gundamma, Pochamma, Mysamma, Jagadambika, Holiyamma, Renukamata, Yellamma,Mariamma and Renuka Devi.
The legends of Renuka are contained in the Mahabharata, the Harivamsa and in the Bhagavata Purana.
Renuka raja (father of Renuka) performed an yajna — a ritual performed to maintain peace and good health. He was blessed with a daughter, who originated from the fire of this yajna. Renuka was a bright and active child and became the most beloved child of her parents.

Plot: Young and beautiful Rajeshwari is the priestess of Devi Maa Durga's temple in a small village in Southern India. She is well-known and respected by everyone in the region, including Mohan Dholakia, who plays the drum, and is treated as her brother. She is blessed by Devi Maa and can walk n bed of nails without coming to any harm while the villagers all take turns to feed Rajeshwari and Mohan. Every night she journeys with a fire-lit torch to light up a small temple of Nagraj. During one of her journeys, she meets with the new Forest Officer Shankar and both fall in love. Mohan wants them to get married and accordingly a date on the 15th of the month is fixed for the marriage. Unfortunately, the 15th is the day that Devi Maa Durga assumes the form of Devi Maa Kali to slay demons and sinners. Shortly thereafter, Rajeshwari's body is found, torn apart by a tiger. When Mohan goes to light her funeral pyre, the body appears to come alive, and Mohan is told that Rajeshwari's soul is unhappy and not at peace. The villagers fear going near the temple, as word spreads that the Devi Maa has killed one of her closest devotees. Fearing they will suffer the same fate, residents start to move out of the village, and the temple is shut down. Amidst this fear and chaos, a warlock named Kalicharan is ready to assume the shape of a fearsome demon to locate the gold and jewelery that are buried near the temple. The question does remain, did Devi Maa Durga, the Protector, really kill her devotee?

Gauri gets pregnant as a result of this intimacy, gets ill, and is hospitalized. It is here that the truth surfaces about Gauri and Prakash, as details are revealed of their past birth, in which they were lovers - Gangadhar Upadhyay, and Gauri, and Kalavati (presently Renuka). During this previous birth too, Gauri gets pregnant, gets ill, and passes away, because of Kalavati's interference. The child in her womb does not survive, and as a result Gangadhar also gets killed. In this birth, the only way Prakash can survive is after someone who loves him sacrifices their life for him.

Plot: Before Bhagwan Vishnu took an avatar (reincarnation) as Bhagwan Shri Ram, he was Bhagwan Parshuram, a revered sage, who undertook upon himself to stop all warriors and war, if force by necessary. This story depicts the birth of Parshuram, in the home of a sage, and his wife, Reunka. Together they give birth to five sons, with Parshuram being one of them. Their household and Ashram is home to the weary and the hungry, and their provider is Kamdhenu, a cow who is blessed to bestow and fulfill any wish by Renuka. One day the land's Samrat himself attends, and has a feast through Kamdhenu. After the feast the arrogant Samrat wants to buy Kamdhenu, but Renuka will not part with the cow for any amount. The Samrat returns home, angry and swears to avenge this humiliation. The sage is upset with Renuka and suspects her fidelity, and calls upon his sons to behead her. None of the sons is able to carry out this task, but Parshuram does so, thus proving that duty comes before everyone. Bhagwan Shiv is impressed with this, and asks the Sage to restore the life of his wife and his sons, which he does. Parshuram, now armed with an axe, goes on to complete the task his birth was for - to stop all wars. He meets with the Samrat's daughter, Gayetri, and both fall in love. This angers the Samrat, and in rage he kills Gayetri. Parshuram is enraged and strikes the Samrat dead, and carries on with his life of bringing peace on Earth. His next encounter with Gayetri will be when she is re-born as Sita, and is in the process of marrying Bhagwan Shri Ram, none other than another avtar of Bhagwan Vishnu

The way you look at me
With your eyes that dance on the pale white moon
Would you even think about leaving so soon?
And there she hits you within your eye
You know all is lost and about to die
Then she turns her head with a beautiful smile
And talks for a while with that
Fateful severed spiteful boy
Deep away in the heart of joy
Talks like crazy, talks to the sea
Sea is what you see in me
Track to the city filth that lies below
When I'm with you the streets are fields where flowers grow
You look pretty in every stitch you're in, I'm a little boy
I'm in love with you in ways they'll never try
Set sails for the future head on into the night
Set sails for the future head on into the night
You give yourself the red carpet grave
The last of the lost was hereby saved
With the serpent tongue and a hot plated heart
She turned back to the story from the start
And there she goes all dressed in style
All is won within all that dies
Then she turns her head with a beautiful smile
And talks for a while with that
Deadly severed spiteful tongue
Sweep away the heart with songs
Run like crazy, run to the sea
Sea is what you see in me
Track to the city filth that lies below
When I'm with you the streets are fields where flowers grow
You look pretty in every stitch you're in, I'm a little boy
I'm in love with you in ways they'll never try
Set sails for the future head on into the night
Set sails for the future head on into the night
A rose dressed in thorns
Yet your touch is just a feeble plot
A rose dressed in thorns
A black kingdom between mountains of lust
Yet your touch is just a feeble plot
Kick up a fire and watch them explode
Track to the city filth that lies below
When I'm with you the streets are fields where flowers grow
You look pretty in every stitch you're in, I'm a little boy
I'm in love with you in ways they'll never try
Set sails for the future head on into the night
