Plot
Naive, childish, and precocious, Gauri lives in a small town with her parents. Gauri's parents are in search of a groom for her. At a fair, she argues with a boy called Shankar, in which Shankar's grandmother supports Gauri. After that, Shankar's grandmother sees Gauri singing in the evening prayer at the Shiv temple. His grandmother makes the decision that Gauri will be a perfect match for Shankar. Shortly thereafter, Gauri's marriage is fixed. She is at first quite happy, not knowing who her groom is, thanks to the huge present she is receiving. When Gauri is told that her marriage has been arranged, she is thrilled at first, then changes her mind when she finds out that her groom is Shankar, but finally reconciles herself to the marriage.
After she relocates to Shankar's residence, she spends much of her time playing with Shankar's little brother. Her husband starts to realize that Gauri has not matured yet. He is unable to become intimate with her. Gauri soon becomes bored. When one day, Shankar tries to force Gauri to be intimate with him, the gap between Gauri and Shankar deepens.
After Gauri's sister, Ratna, is married and returns home, Gauri visits her. Ratna explains to Gauri the meaning of the sacred relationship between a husband and wife. Gauri, realizing the importance of marriage and intimacy, asks her sister-in-law to arrange a vehicle for her to go to her in-laws' house. However, Gauri arrives at her in-laws' house at the same time that Shankar departs for his college studies, relocating to study in another town after feeling guilty for forcing Gauri to be intimate with him.
