Plot

Shivaram Bhatikar, along with his wife Parvati, their 17-18-year-old daughter Tungabhadra, and her five younger siblings, struggled to make ends meet. His meager salary barely provided enough for one meal a day.

One day, while Shivaram was eating khichdi, the children watched him hungrily. Tungabhadra managed to control her emotions at that moment but later worked hard to earn some money and cooked khichdi for her siblings. When Shivaram saw this, he became furious. Upset by his reaction, Tungabhadra decided to leave home.

Balajipant, a family friend or relative, convinced her to return. However, Shivaram arranged for her marriage to an older man. At the last moment, Tungabhadra’s uncle intervened, rescued her from the situation, and eventually found her a suitable match, ensuring her happiness.
