Season 1:
A day before the festival of Eid, Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, is addressing his subjects. Everyone, including the royal Turkish family, is in a festive mood. Iltutmish has replaced gold coins with silver coins. Shamshad Begum, Iltutmish's mother-in-law, is worried about her dead husband's fame. The Sultan's daughters, Razia and Shazia, are busy preparing special tokens of gift for him. Shamshad Begum is angry with Razia's ignoble behaviour.
Razia gets the third gift for the Sultan from Nizamuddin, a benevolent man who once saved the Sultan from the clutches of a cruel master. The Sultan is delighted to see Razia's gifts. Meanwhile, a messenger of death arrives with news. Fatima, one of Nizamuddin's slaves, is to be buried alive along with her dead master. She appeals to the Sultan and Razia for help. Only Razia, who is privy to more information about this situation, can help her.
In her quest to save Fatima, Razia tries to convince her father to release Fatima. The Sultan explains to her that he cannot bend the law for his daughter. Shamshad Begum punishes Razia for the same and isolates her from the Eid celebrations. Razia is worried about Fatima and is unable to decide between the path of virtue or the path of duty. Razia comes up with a plan to save Fatima.
Razia does the forbidden when she announces that she has witnessed the moon on the eve of Eid. Her bold action brings her in the crosshairs of the imams (religious heads of the Delhi Sultanate) and the commoners. Razia defends her actions by highlighting the discrimination made between men and women. The imams ask the Sultan to apologise to his subjects for his daughter's actions. Shamshad Begum and Qutub Begum, Razia's mother, are anxious.
