This is the story of Kashinath Joshi (Hindu Bramhan), who works with Mahadev Bhatta (Hindu Bramhan) to learn the rituals of Martika ( cremation ceremony ). Mahadeva bhatta vows not to perform the rituals of Martika only to gain self esteem in the village. Now, like Guruji, he had to quit this job and stand alone. And that's where he decides he has no choice but to work for his stomach.Then he tries to support Mahadev without standing in opposition to Guruji(Mahadev) ... and the mischief inflicted by other Brahmins (Creed discrimination) .... and the appetite of the stomach to satisfy his stomach ... All this while Kashinath's mute silences and struggle to survive.

Director Statement

We used to see caste, color, creed and religion as one of our convenient facilities and policies. But what is needed now is to see humans as human. In today's world, one should strive for best education, better health, food security and at least living standards for all, regardless of your religious, ethnic or racial status. And I think we should be committed to the protection of humanity by abandoning the stereotypes of personal selfishness. Because all of these things feel great for a moment, but when you get hungry, these prestige can't feed you. Every human being has a special existence from birth, it does not have to be decided according to anyone's convenience or will. That's what I want to say. Mahakarma [Great Deeds] is the effort we make for best possible survival.
