In late 19th Century, Bengal Bhubaneswar Chowdhury is a wealthy and tyrannical Zamidar. He has two main obsessions: his desperate attempts for an heir, which even his new second wife Jashomati seems unable to deliver; and competing with his regional rivals to produce the most magnificent effigy of a goddess for the annual Durga Puja ceremony. This year he concocts a master plan to change the face of the goddess for the most powerful woman on Earth -- Queen Victoria. Meantime his two wives Mahomaya and Jashomati try to look out for one another especially as Bhubeneshwar begins to sexually assault his younger wife each night.
