In the vibrant heart of Varanasi, a girl named Manikarnika captures the attention of Dixt, a minister from the royal state of Jhansi. Enchanted by her spirit, he orchestrates her union with Prince Gangadar Rao, the heir of Jhansi. This marriage, however, sparks a sinister scheme. Sadashiv Rao, driven by ambition and a promise of power, conspires with the British to seize Jhansi. His plot escalates following the birth of Gangadar and Manikarnika's son, Lakshmi. Fearing his own downfall, Sadashiv poisons the sacred water during the child's naming ceremony, resulting in the tragic demise of the infant and leaving the Prince on his deathbed. On the brink of death, Gangadar Rao's final act is the adoption of a son, stirring feelings of guilt within Sadashiv, who had hoped he would be chosen. With Gangadar's passing, the absence of a male heir becomes a pretext for the East India Company to lay claim to Jhansi.
