Ram Sastri is an honest and upright purohit earning his livelihood by performing religious ceremonies. He would starve rather that accept charity in any form. He has a big family-wife and eight children. To add to his woes, his sister, accompanied by her daughter, comes to stay with him. The purohit’s grown-up daughter, Shalini, once accepts a sari from her childhood friend Ashok. She accepts the gift because the sari she has is in tatters. But Ram Sastri would have none of it and sees to it that the sari is given away to a beggar woman.
