The story begins with a young child climbing into a bullock cart, eagerly insisting that he accompany the vehicle on its journey to pick up the Shavundi, the funeral rites performer who resides among the cremation grounds. The Shavundi is a figure often associated with fear and superstition—covered in ash and grime, sleeping in a grove infested with bats, and accompanied by ominous background music that underscores his eerie presence. As the child and the Shavundi converse during the ride, the scene shifts into a flashback that introduces us to Lakshmi, whose life story forms the core of this narrative.
