[1] The film begins with the return by boat of Goswami and his secretary-biographer, Gangadhar Hazarika, to his home in Majuli from EID Majlis in 1956.

They discuss the 1914 ordination ceremony of Pitambardev as Sattradhikar of the Garmur Satra, the monastery of a celibate order in Majuli.

Although Goswami heads a conservative institution, he is undeterred by social castigation as a result of his views on the emancipation of women through education and widow remarriage.

His activity in the Quit India Movement drives Harold Dennehy, Chief Secretary of Assam in 1943, ordering his arrest and detention outside the state.

The film flashes back to Goswami opening schools in the Mikir Hills of Karbi Anglong district, despite failing health, and his introduction of women's theatre and dance.
