Kajri
was
born
in
village
Kadrava,
from
Bikaner
district
of
Rajasthan.
She
was
a
simple
but
vibrant
child
and
everyone
in
her
village
adored
her.
Her
birth
had
brought
good
luck
and
happiness
to
the
village.
As
she
grew
up
into
a
vivacious
and
beautiful
teenager,
her
troubles
started.
The young roadside Romeos and Ranjhas in the village longed for and lusted after her. Things come to a boil when one of the ruffians, a modern day incarnation of Ravana, spreads the falsehood that he has had physical relationship with Kajri. This creates a stir in the sleepy village and Kajri's name and reputation is tarnished. The matter is finally brought before the village Panchayat which treats Kajri as the one in the wrong. Finally, the Panchayat, after much deliberation, puts the onus of proving her innocence on Kajri and suggests a way to do it.
Kajri
has
to
take
the
'Agni
Pareeksha'.
She
has
to
walk
through
fire
in
nude
in
front
of
the
Devi
Mandir.
If
she
is
innocent,
nothing
will
happen
to
her
by
the
grace
of
Devi
Maa.
If
she
has
sinned,
she
will
be
burnt
to
ashes.
Even
otherwise
a
woman
of
loose
morals
has
no
right
to
exist.
Before the Panchayat's bizarre edict could be executed, a city based NGO intervenes. It advises the Panchayat to desist from doing something that may subject them to criminal proceedings and go for a medical examination of Kajri instead to determine if she has sinned or not. Villagers agree and Kajri is taken for a medical examination to prove her innocence.
As
Kajri
is
forced
to
seek
the
certificate
of
high
moral
standards
from
a
doctor,
she
goes
through
a
living
hell.
