Placed in early thirties, “DIKSHA” (Initiation) is the story of the Guru and his widowed daughter, the head disciple and the novice; the lowly-born ‘KOGA’ who dreams of learning the intricacy of scriptures. In a weaker moment, during the long absence of her father, the young widow falls to the temptation of the flesh. The lover is not ready to accept the responsibility. The widow is forced to abort. In the ensuing commotion the father is called back. He is forced to give his decision. He pronounces her dead, and performs her ‘Ghata-Shraddha’. This is a ritual where an immoral is ex-communicated, pronounced dead and her last rites performed when the ‘accused’ is still alive, thus depriving her of all wordly relations.
