Plot

Janardhana Rao Panthulu (Balijepalli) is a lawyer. He was a fundamentalist who valued commitments to orthodox rituals. He marries his six-year-old daughter Lalita (Kanchanamala) to an old man and dies shortly after. The result is that Lalita becomes a widow at an early age. Elegant grows between serious commitments.

A Swami named Kaliyuganandaswamy enters the house and Janardhana Rao enters the house. The name of the master was spread all over the place. All the people flocked to see him, believing that it was heaven to eat their Tirthaprasadas. The masters make Janarthana Rao a puppet in his hand and wield power over him.

One day someone came to call me by name and unknowingly put a blob on Lalit's face. The blob masters look on and shout that the Kallerra Jesse religion has been desecrated. All the salesmen speak Nana. Lalit is in desperate grief.

She is introduced to a social reformer named Sundara Rao (Y. V. Rao). He persuades her and frees her from the old commitments and remarries.
