Naaginn - Waadon Ki Agniparikshaa is a Hindi television series that aired on Zee TV since October 11, 2007 worldwide. The show is produced by AK Films, one of India’s largest media and entertainment company, based on an interesting saga of an ichadhari (wishful) 'Naaginn'. The series ended its first season on April 11, 2009, and is expected to return for its 2nd season within 3 months.[1]
The show is based on a tale of an Ichadhari Naaginn who transforms herself to take revenge from the Singh family that had killed her parents (who were king and queen of Naag community) for attaining the valuable Naagmani (snake gem).
While dying, the queen naaginn instructs her daughter to take revenge from these men and get back the naagmani in their community, so that she can give back life to the Naag & Naagin. In order to fulfill the wish of her dying 'naaginn' mother, Amrita transforms herself into human being to take the revenge. And now she gets married in the same family that had killed her parents. But the dilemma is that her duty as a wife comes in between her revenge and her love towards her 'human' husband. After a lots of turmoils in her life, Amrita gets pregnant. However, in protecting Amrita and the unborns, Arjun (Amrita's husband) dies. Each of the family members die except for Triveni. Amrita gives birth to two identical twins. After giving birth to them, Triveni and Surmaya come and kill Amrita with the deadly poison, Vasuki. However, Kanishk comes and helps Amrita as she wants to live for her daughters he advises her to become a ghostly spirit so she can watch her children however she will not be able to touch them and they will not be able to see her. Amrita agrees. Amrita's two daughters are about seven years old and they will look exactly like Amrita when they grow up. One daughter is with Triveni who treats her miserably and the other daughter is with a village woman who soon dies. Triveni goes to Bhairavnath who helps her try to bring Amrita in the human world so she can kill her forever. The season 1 ends with Amrita ghost being captured.

[edit] Lyrics of the Title Song
Ghrod Ho, Aagesh Ho, Rosh Ho, Pratirod Ho
Vrighans Ho, Aagrosh Ho, Viraash Ho, Pratishod Ho
Bhar Rahi Aankhon Mein Dhushmani, Rod Ghrod
Aa Ghayi Badlein Ki Ab Ghari, Pratishod Ghrod
Cheen Lu Ghi Zaalimo Ki Zindagi
Apne Saaye, Roti Raahein, Kaisi Mushkil Aa Ghayi
Sooni Duniya, Pyasi Ankhiyaan, Khoi Khushiyaan
Waadon Ki Agni Pariksha Mein
Jalti Naaginn, Jalti Naaginn
