Baksiddha (1957)

This religious tale traces the extraordinary life of Sarbanand Thakur, who lived his life in complete devotion to the goddess Kali.

As a young boy, he made a statue of the goddess Kali out of mud, and when she would not listen to his prayer, he became very angry and destroyed the idol. When he threw it down to the ground, the Mother spoke. A Rishi who was doing penance nearby also heard the Mother and started instructing the boy in spiritual practice.

This biographical tale delves into the many trials and tests that were placed on his path, also highlighting the many miraculous events that took place like the time the Mother appeared and turned the new moon night into a full moon night to fulfil the prayer of a sincere devotee. How will society treat Sarbanand? How will Sarbanand's future unfold?
