The film centers on Gajraj, a politician who instigates a religious conflict over land to build a temple, aiming to win an upcoming election. His political ambitions are contrasted by a deep personal sorrow: twenty-five years ago, he gave his infant son away due to a prophecy foretelling death if father and son were to meet. The boy, Shivansh, was later presumed dead in an accident, a fate his mother, Shanti, has never accepted, continuing to celebrate his birthday for a quarter of a century. Meanwhile, Shivani, a PhD student travels to Banaras to write her thesis on Aghoris and focuses her research on a sage named Rudra. After a priest informs Shanti that her son might be in Banaras, she and Gajraj travel there and, with Shivani's help, find that Rudra is their long-lost son. Following the initial shock and Rudra's reluctance to leave his ascetic life, his guru, Baba Aughadnath, convinces him to accept his past and return home with his parents.
