Gejje Pooje

Mock marriage)[a] is a 1969 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Puttanna Kanagal and produced by Rashi Brothers.

The heroine Chandramukhi (played by Kalpana) is the daughter of a devadasi who falls in love with a young man who is her neighbour, as they grew up together.

The young girl understands the value of education and with the support of her mother intends to reject the life of prostitution.

The girl he then goes on to marry is actually her half-sister, the daughter of the heroine's father from his marriage with another woman.

Chandra agrees to perform 'gejje pooje' (literally marrying ankle bracelets) as part of initiation into a life of prostitution, but in the end, she kills herself by crushing and swallowing the diamond (from the ring that was gifted to her by her biological father in his memory).
