Synopsis:
Ganga Singh lives near Gangotri with her brother, Karam. One day she
comes to the assistance of a young man, Narendra Sahay, who has come
with a group of Calcutta-based college students to study the source of
the holy river Ganga, and to get some holy water for his
wheelchair-bound paternal grandma. Both are attracted to each other, and
on the next Puran Mashi get married, and spend the night in close
intimacy. Narendra leaves, but promises Ganga that he will be back soon.
Months go by, but he does not return. She gives birth to a son, and as
soon she is able to, she starts her journey to Alipor, Calcutta, to
confront Narendra and ensure a better future for their son. At Rishikesh
she is exploited by two women and a man, escapes and takes shelter in a
crematorium. Then at Banaras, she is molested by a Pandit, rescued by
the police and given a ticket to Calcutta. When she alights en-route to
get water for her baby, the train leaves, and she falls into the
clutches of a Manilal who feigns blindness and lures her to
Rajeshwaribai's brothel near Banaras, where she is forced to stay so
that she can provide food and shelter for her son. It is here she is
introduced to powerful politician, Bhagwat Choudhary, who pays a hefty
sum and asks Manilal to bring Ganga to Calcutta where he intends to keep
her as his and Jeeva Sahay's mistress. What Ganga does not know is that
Bhagwat's daughter, Radha, is Narendra's bride-to-be; that Jeeva is
none other than Narendra's dad, and that soon she will asked to dance at
his wedding reception.
