When Gauri attains puberty, her mother thinks of getting her married to Ramesh and writes a letter communicating the same though the village Sheregar. On hearing this, Ramesh starts daydreaming about his cousin and soon to be wife Gauri. He also tries to educate himself by trying to buy some adult books. Gauri however is still very immature and continues her playful acts like any oblivious kids in her village. Ramesh travels to the village to prepare for the marriage and tries to woe Gauri without much success. He is however eyed by another village belle Padhi who dreams of using Ramesh as her ticket to the city. After the marriage, Ramesh is lovelorn and not able to consummate as Gauri runs away from him.
