Spoilers ahead

A mentally unstable pregnant woman rushes into a temple, closes the door, and gives birth at the feet of a Krishna idol before she passes away. Because such a birth in Gharbhagudi is seen as a bad omen, the temple doors are kept shut, and the newborn boy, Arjun, is raised by his grandmother in the outhouse of a bungalow owned by a stern landlord. He grows up facing cold treatment from those around him, his early life marked by hardship and neglect, yet he clings to a quiet resolve that keeps him going.
