Plot

The film is based on the life of Gora Kumbhar, an advent devotee of Panduranga between the 11th to 12th centuries belonging to Satyapuri village Maharashtra. Namdev, a great disciple of the Lord, offers Prasāda to which he does not respond when saint Gynadeva says that he may go for some other devotee. At that moment, self-centred Namadeva declares that no one is superior to him. Parallelly, Gora, a potter, leads a good life with his ideal wife, Lakshmi, and a kid, Vittu. Gora is very kindhearted and ameliorates everyone in the village. However, he is not interested in worldly matters and is constantly immersed in the adoration of Panduranga. Once, Namadeva & Gynadeva, in their tour, halt at Satyapuri, where Gora provides hospitality. Here, Gynadeva orders Gora to acknowledge the state of knowledge from the disciples when Gora affirms Namadeva as a half-knowledge fellow. Knowing this, Namadeva seeks the Lord to endorse his duty when he states to search for a mentor to amend his deficiency, and he moves.

Meanwhile, in an awful incident, Gora, while mixing clay, gets involved in a holy ecstasy and plods the child under the mud. Due to this, furious Lakshmi takes a vow in the name of the Lord that Gora should not touch her. From there, Gora works on his own, which suffers Lakshmi. So, she knits him with her sister Manju when Lakshmi's father takes a promise from Gora to treat both similarly. Ergo, Gora refuses to touch Manju, but one night, unfortunately, he touches them, being regretful for the sin; he amputates his hands when Panduranga appears as a potter Ranganna and starts serving him. During that time, Namadeva realizes Gora is his mentor, bows his head down, and divulges Ranganna's true self. At last, the Lord completes his test of Gora, restores his hands, returns his child and removes his vow. Finally, the movie ends with Gora nobilitated immortal as an advent devotee of Panduranga.
