+Intended as an indictment of religious
+intolerance, the film is set on the frontier
+between West Bengal and Bihar. In a
+fairground, a child with three heads is
+exhibited as a miracle-performing child god. A
+poor peasant, Raghubir (Meher), and his wife
+Seeta (Patil) hope that the child will alleviate
+their suffering. However, Raghubir then
+discovers that the misshapen child was borne
+by his own wife who sold the infant for 30
+rupees. Raghubir indignantly demands to be
+given half of that sum and, when he cannot get
+it, he beats Seeta in the hope that she will give
+birth to another misshapen child.
