Description:

• Ambegaon is a small village in Konkan, home to Shivajirao Bhosale, a respected landlord.

• Bhosale's family is the oldest in the village, and while the villagers belong to different clans, they live in harmony.

• During crises, villagers look to Shivajirao for help, and when divine matters arise, they go to Tryambak Guruji, the priest of the Shiva temple.

• Tryambak Guruji’s family includes two sons and two daughters. His younger brother, Sridhar, has a passion for education, even though there is no college in the village.

• Sridhar opens a coaching class and marries Sindhu, who dies after giving birth to a son, Jagannath.

• Jagannath is nurtured lovingly by the family after his mother's death. Meanwhile, Shivajirao bears the grief of losing his two sons.

• The village establishes a high school due to the efforts of Shivajirao's daughter, Janhvi.

• Jagannath and Janhvi attend the school together and later go to Pune for college, despite Shivajirao's objections.

• Janhvi stays with her maternal grandmother, while Jagannath stays in a hostel. The two fall in love.

• Despite caste barriers, Janhvi’s grandmother supports their marriage.

• After the marriage, Janhvi’s grandmother helps Jagannath get a job in a bank and gives them a new bungalow as a wedding gift.

• Janhvi's extravagant lifestyle leads to financial strain, tempting Jagannath into unethical practices at the bank.

• The novel delves into whether Jagannath can escape the financial crisis and resolve the conflict with Janhvi.
