Plot
In a remote village at Karnataka-Maharashtra border in India, due to a ridden with superstition, the poor residents follow Devadasi tradition, according to which young girls are given up by their families, in the service of Goddess Yellamma. The landlords, priests and other men take advantage of these young girls and pimps like Veerapppan take them to brothels in Bombay. Bhashya, a labourer, and his wife Hanumi lead an attempt at awakening against the practice by deciding to save Laksmi from becoming a Devadasi with the help of Masterji, going against the powerful feudal lord Desai.
