From this India, the cradle of the gods, comes this epic drama of an Indian mother, the nucleas round which revolves the tradition and culture of ages in this ancient land. In India, woman is a part of man. With marriage she merges her individuality into her husband's and both together form a single entity in the society. The one without the other is but half the story of an eternal harmony going beyond a single birth and through seven births as the Indian scriptures say.

A woman's marriage is thus an eternal spiritual bond and in her absolute dedication to her husband, her single prayer is to die in the presence of her husband and be carried out by him even as bride in death. To this eternal Indian woman,the home is her temple, the husband is her god, the children his blessings and the land her great mother.

This is the story of one such Indian woman, a supreme symbol of millions of mothers that make this ancient land land Mother India.
