Parvathi is the eldest among her siblings Rajani and Rukmini. Since they lost their parents at a young age, Parvathi took care of her younger siblings. Bhudevi, who also stays in the same house with her husband Garataiah and son Tirupati, becomes envious after seeing Parvathi, who is a beloved member of her respective family and is entitled to riches. Bhudevi plots a plan to get her son Tirupati engaged to Parvathi, so that all of the land will be theirs. Since Parvathi left to Patna, Tirupati goes there to convince her to marry him. However, Parvathi falls for Shankar, a well educated man from an orphanage, and they have a baby boy. Garataiah feels bad about Bhudevi and Tirupati's doings and subsequently sends an apology letter to Parvathi, which ends up in the hands of conspirators. The conspirators separate Shankar, who aspires to get a job in Calcutta, from Parvathi and her son. Shankar supposedly dies in a boat accident while Parvathi is separated from her son, who is taken care of by Garataiah. How Parvathi reunites with her son and whether Shankar died or not forms the rest of the story.
