In the Hindu Mythology, when there was nothing in the universe, the formless God himself thought of starting everything. Thus he divided himself into three equal parts thereby creating three equally powerful entities (together called as 'Tridevas' or Tri-Gods) namely Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.
God thus gave the three prime entities three different jobs.
G: Generator Brahma
O: Operator Vishnu, and
D: Destroyer Mahesh
These three entities or the prime Gods of all made up the word 'GOD' itself thus describing how they were created by God.
Brahma was given the task of creating the world. Being the four headed (later got only three heads), all knowing and the most intelligent deity in the entire universe he knew everything and thus wrote the fate of every little being. Later on Brahma also created other 330 Million Hindu deities only to divide all the work of the universe among them.
Vishnu (also known as Narayana) was the most handsome being in the entire universe and was given the task of Operating the Creation of Brahma. Whatever fate Brahma had decided for every being has to be done by Vishnu himself. Vishnu thus had the job to protect and manage Brahma's world. Thus he vowed that whenever any harm would come to this world, he would incarnate himself in some form to destroy the evil that would be harm to the world. He is the only one out of the Tridevas who has no attachment to the material world and thus has the highest spot in this regard among the three deities.
Shiva or Mahesh, is the most fearsome yet very kind among Tridevas. He has a third eye on his forehead that holds the power to destroy Brahma's creation in one blow when the time comes. He holds the mighty Trishula or the Shiva-Trident that is supposed to be as strong as Vishnu's Sudarshana-Chakra.
Shiva is always in deep meditation of Vishnu, while Vishnu is in deep meditation of Brahma and Brahma is in deep meditation of Shiva, thereby creating a cycle that runs the entire Universe.

Our story begins when a woman from the mortal world started praying to Lord Shiva asking for a child as she was childless. Being a great Devotee of Shiva, she impressed him with her true prayers.
Thus Shiva showed and granted her a baby boy. However the boy was so mischievous that after a certain event Shiva cursed him out of anger. But when he calmed down, Shiva realized that the Boy was just a child. Thus, he reduced the effect of the Curse and thus said that whenever the boy would try to do something bad, that would only bring good results.
This boy was called Bankelal.
Later on he became one of the ministers at the court of King "Vikram Singh". But Bankelal (shortened as 'Banke') had some other plans.
He simply wanted to slaughter King Vikram and get a hold of the throne.
Will he succeed? Or will the curse of Lord Shiva come into effect?

It was a bright and sunny day in the Vishalgarh kingdom which was ruled by the mighty king Vikram Singh. Even though the king was as Fat as a pig and had big moustache, he was very kind and strong. The king wore a royal turban that used to give him a funny look. He simply looked like a big fat pig in moustache that had a crown of turban over his head.
Regardless of that he had the most beautiful wife in the entire kingdom. What to say about the lady who had the perfect figure of 36-24-36 inches inclusive of the two round melons on her chest. And her beautiful lips and hips that could blow your mind. Whenever she walked in her beautiful red saree, she would look like a divine angel.
That literally made others think how that fat pig got hold of such an angel! (Ah… forget it… let's move ahead. )
***
That sunny day somewhere in the royal Garden three unknown persons were having a secret meeting. One of them was wearing a mask and other two looked like some kind of assassins. One of them was long and thin and the other was short and fat.
The masked man somehow looked like a royal personality judging from his royal shoes and Dhoti-Kurta and an expensive golden ring that he wore. (Ah, I wish I had one!!)
"Look, Shorty and Potty… the task should be done carefully. No one should come to know of it." the Masked-Man said.
"Don't worry boss… none will come to know!" The two funny assassins replied.
"Well, then, take this bag of gold. You'll get the rest once the job is done!".
"Of course, Of course…" shouted the two.

And here on the other hand, the Royal Palace was being decorated like a newly wed bride. (If you know how beautiful Indian Brides look during their marriage, you'd understand the beauty of the palace then.) Here the Head Minister- 'Dharam Singh' was taking care of everything.
"Good… now spread all kinds of flowers over the carpet." Dharam Singh thus ordered and the workers got to work.
The actual reason for this decoration was the grand celebration of king Vikram Singh's son's "Namkaran" where he was about to be named. (**Namkaran is where a newborn baby is about to be officially named)
For this grand celebration, besides the citizen of the royal capital, many kings of the neighbouring countries were invited too. In fact the royal Chef "Sharif-Chand" was preparing the world's best dishes that day.
Inside their room king Vikram and queen Swarnlata were getting ready.
"Dear Swarnlata, someday my son would be a great man and light up our name".
"Yes, you're right darling… God bless our son so that he becomes as mighty as you!" At the same time she was thinking - 'but not as fat as you!'
While they were conversing the Gatekeeper knocked. Then he came in and busted-
"Hail the mighty King!"
"What is it now?" King Vikram asked politely.
"Lord, someone wants to meet you urgently." Gatekeeper thus continued. "He says he has come from Lalgarh Village".
"Lalgarh? But I can't meet him right now, you know that. Ask him to join our celebration. I'll meet him tomorrow in the evening for sure."
And the Gatekeeper apologised saying "Pardon me My Lord, but the man is not in good condition. He might not make it up till tomorrow!"
"What?" the fat pig (king) shouted. "Where is that man? I shall meet him right now then!"
"Yes my Lord… the Royal-Doctor is trying to bring him back to his senses… he simply fainted when he came here and asked to meet you…".
And the king went to meet the stranger.

In the mid-way the king smelled something bad and asked the Gatekeeper whether a rat or something was dead to which he replied in negative.
When the king reached the royal-Hospital he could see an old man nothing less than a skeleton who had just come to his senses. It could be easily predicted from his looks that he had not eaten anything for days and must have travelled a long distance.
"Oh! My dear King!" the Old Skeleton spoke in a low voice.
'He looks like shit!' King Vikram Singh thought. Then he spoke to the royal Doctor, "What has happened to him?"
"Your Highness, he is suffering from malnutrition. His liver is totally damaged. He can neither eat nor poop! His excretory system are so damaged that he keeps on farting every minute. " Replied the Doctor.
"So that was what I smelled from far distance!" King said. "You said Malnutrition? So there are people in my kingdom who are dying of hunger?"
"M...M...My lord…" screamed the old man. "My Lord, I'm from Lalgarh. My name is Lakhiya. Please... please save Lalgarh. People are dying of drought and famine... Hungry Vultures are eyeing over dying people."
"Don't worry I am going to look into the matter right at the moment." King Confirmed.
The weak and old man resumed, "My Lord… if you don't provide accommodations to my friends and families, then you'll be held responsible for their death! "
After saying these words the man dies.
Hearing those unpleasing words King Vikram Singh gets serious and starts crying. "Bu...hu...hu...hu… Oh my Lord! What a fate!! Here we are preparing for a grand celebration and there... people are dying of hunger! Bu...hu...hu...hu!!!"
Head Minister Dharam Singh was also there. He had a very thin moustache and was in his 60's although he had a good physique.
Dharam Singh then commenced "Dear Lord, we should arrange food, money and other stuffs for the people of Lalgarh as soon as possible."
Then they left for the court. All the arrangement for Lalgarh was left in the trustworthy hands of Head-minister Dharam Singh. In a few hours, Dharam Singh presented himself in the court with the news.
"Your Highness… I have prepared all the stuff including food, clothing and money in 10 Carriages." Dharam Singh said.
King asked - "But who will take care of these and go there to look after and manage everything?"
Dharam Singh replied - "I propose I should go there, Dear Lord."
"But Dharam Singh, if you go there who will be taking care of the royal guests in the celebration? Even, the Commander is not here. Only if he were here, I could have sent him."
At that very moment entered Vikram Singh's special Adviser Minister, Hasmukh Lal (one who is always happy) and said, "O My Great Lord… pardon my intrusion but I should say that no one other than the Great Bankelal*** can do this job. I think he is the perfect fit!"
"Hmm… Bankelal… That's right! He can do this job perfectly My Lord!" exclaimed Dharam Singh.
"Bankelal! Oh yes… You're right Hasmukh Lal ji… You have solved this problem. Great job! My dear Bankelal is a perfect fit for this kind of work." King said happily.
(**the word 'ji' is added after any one's name in India to show respect for him/her though it may or may not be used)
Hasmukh Lal then said - "Pardon please my lord but that's what I get paid for!"
Suddenly king Vikram ordered Dharam Singh to fetch his dearest minister Bankelal at once.
