Synopsis

Bhawani - Cult Goddess is the story of a young man called Piru, an Indian untouchable. He was born into a society that rejected untouchables except for their value as a "sweeper", a cleaner of floors, toilets, and latrines. As a boy, he listened to the stories of an old man about the goddess Bhawani, the deity of the Thuggee gangs that thrived in India prior to its occupation by the British, who stamped out the gangs and restored civil order. The old man told him that the goddess had been waiting for him. Growing up, he became increasingly aware of the influence of this goddess in his family. He struggled to overcome his caste boundaries and to achieve success as a laborer, an entrepreneur, a businessman, and an educated gentleman, but at the same time became a worshiper of Bhawani and revived the Thuggee Cult. On his life path, he gradually came to realize his real value in life, and who he really was.
