G. V. Iyer's film opens with a flowery pooja performed on a shivalinga, followed by an on-stage presentation of the film's cast and crew. The mayhem of the Kurukshetra War is witnessed by Prince Arjuna before he and his charioteer, Krishna, begin the dialogue that is the Bhagavad Gita. Complimentary imagery accompany the verses of the Gita, with many of the scenes set in nature, eventually crescendoing with Arjuna standing atop clouds among the Himalayas, transitioning further up into the cosmos as imagery of the planets accompany verses sung by Krishna.
