Plot[edit | edit source]
Annapurna, a devadasi, aspires to lead a normal married life.[lower-alpha 1] She falls in love with Chandrasekhar, a musician, and begets a child named Chandramukhi. As Chandrasekhar fails to return to her, Annapurna is pressured by her mother Ranganayaki to be a rich man's mistress. Annapurna accepts, and aims to help Chandramukhi lead a respectable married life when she grows up. The rich man moves Annapurna's family to Rajahmundry, where Chandramukhi meets Avadhani, a scholar with a progressive outlook. She considers him her master, and befriends his children Ramu and Lalitha.
Fifteen years later, Ramu promises to marry Chandramukhi. One day, Chandrasekhar, who happens to be Avadhani's childhood friend, comes to meet him and ends up visiting Annapurna's place that night. He explains to her the circumstance that led him to marry another woman. While Chandramukhi is happy to find her father, Chandrasekhar requests her not to let out the secret that he is her biological father. Seeing Chandramukhi with Chandrasekhar from his window, not knowing that he is her biological father, Ramu misunderstands her and agrees to marry the latter's daughter, whoi happens to be his legal heir. Chandramukhi accepts her fate, and agrees to be initiated into the family tradition of being a devadasi.
