This saint film is about Sant Eknath, a major Marathi poet, author of the Eknathi Bhagvata and numerous abhangas evoking folk poetry, especially the bharuda form of solo performances. The film focuses on Eknath's humanitarian defense of the 'untouchable' castes. Opposed by the evil Mahant, Eknath becomes a social outcast when he arranges to have the lower-caste people fed before the Brahmins during a prayer meeting at his house, compounding the offense by going to eat in one of their houses.
