She leaves home on her own to find out more about Vrindavan, known as the city of widows. Vrindavan is a place where widows are dumped by their families. They are cut off from all family ties and get little financial support from anybody. As a result, they are distained to lead a miserable life. To make things worse many girls are sexually exploited and humiliated.

The inmates are called 'Mai' meaning mother. Ironically the word has lost all its meaning given the way the girls are treated. Roop Mai, (Amardeep Jha), an inmate of Vrindavan, is abandoned by her children. Priya reaches Virndavan and meets Roop Mai, who tells her about the life in the city of widows. Most of the widows take help from the ashrams located in the city. They have to give up their self pride to get help from the ashrams. Roop Mai is the one who tries hard to retain her self-pride and refuses to take help from the ashrams.

Some teenaged widows like Deepti, (Amrutha Subhash) are forced into prostitution by Pramod Panda of the ashram. Gradually a bond grows between Priya and Roop Mai. Priya is not the one who accepts anything in the name of fate. She, along with Roop Mai wants to change the lives of the widows. Soon Deepti and Mala (Shameem Sheikh) join hands with them. Priya dreams to build a real haven for the poor widows. She tries to do this through taping their creative skills to find a decent living.

Priya's hard work brings success and the lives of the widows change gradually. She manages to get the widow pension from government to each widow and create a medical clinic exclusively for the widows. However, the development in their life takes a back seat as Mala gets pregnant. She is carrying the child of the Pandit in whose house she was working. Finally she bleeds to death. Deepti is unable to get out of the web created by Pramod panda. She is not able to give up prostitution. Priya fights hard to rescue Deepti and finally succeeds.
