Plot
Ganga, a bright and educated young woman, resides in a modest village in India with her parents. Shankar comes to Ganga's aid during a troubling incident but during the act he sustains a temporary injury and becomes cripple. Later, Ganga, amid her daily prayers by the river chastises Ranjit, the affluent son of Thakur Vijay Singh, which leads to an arranged marriage proposal from Thakur Vijay Singh. Despite her agreement to marry Ranjit, he accuses her of infidelity on their wedding day. With Shankar's intervention again, the truth is uncovered, prompting Ganga to wed Shankar instead. However, tensions escalate in their new household with Shankar's unsupportive sister-in-law, and vengeful Ranjit, leading to challenges for Ganga and Shankar.
