Synopsis
[edit]Rajkumari Ophelia desires a statuette of Devi Maa located in Pratapgarh. She recruits Sher Singh to retrieve it, promising to marry him if he succeeds in bringing it to her.
Sher Singh sets out on his mission, but before he can obtain the statuette, Thakur takes possession of it, incurring Devi Maa's wrath and losing his son as a result. Fearing that the rest of his family will also perish on the day of the Khumbh Mela, Thakur orders his brother, Ranjeet, to return the statuette to the Mandir. However, Ranjeet fails in his task, becomes separated from his daughter, Meena, and loses his sanity.
Meanwhile, Ramlal, who possesses the statuette, disappears. His wife becomes separated from their son, Birju, while her brother-in-law, Mangal, is arrested and imprisoned for murdering Rana. She subsequently moves to Bombay with Mangal's son, Shekhar.
Years later, Birju earns a living by making small statues, while Meena performs on the streets with a cow. Mangal has become a gangster, Sher Singh continues to search for the statuette, and Ranjeet remains insane. Shekhar eventually discovers the statuette, attracts public attention by issuing a press release, and places it under security. However, the statuette is stolen once again, and its whereabouts become unknown.
