The picture
Badri is a highly skilled warrior and 'samurai' trained by the religious Guru Bheeshma Narayan to protect the sacred Badrinath Temple. Badri remains devoted to his duty and follows a strict code of conduct. When Alakananda, an atheist woman fleeing from her cruel uncle Sarkar, visits the temple, she gradually falls in love with Badri's noble character. Badri helps her rediscover her faith while protecting her from Sarkar's assassins. However, the Guru suspects Badri is losing his focus and breaking his vow of celibacy, threatening his position as the protector of the temple.
