Plot

Long ago, the Agnihotri family had an important job - they took care of a special fire called Agnihotra, and they also worshipped Lord Ganesh. This was when making fire wasn't easy. But as time passed, things changed. Modern ways made Agnihotra less important, and the Agnihotri family members started doing different jobs in different places.

However Neel, who is Chintamani Agnihotri's son, was curious about his family's old traditions. Even though everyone else was moving on, Neel wanted to understand the mysteries his grandfather, Appa, left behind. So, Neel set out on a journey to learn about his family's history. He discovered forgotten stories and rituals, realizing that these traditions were like a special thread connecting him to his family's past. In a world where old customs were fading away, Neel's determination brought back the glow of Agnihotra, showing his family the importance of holding onto their shared legacy.
