Vakratunda Swaha plot

This short experimental film opens and ends with the filmmaker's friend, Girish Dahiwale, who died in 1998, performing a ritual for the God Ganesha. In between, the viewer sees the filmmaker himself perform the tonsure, the shaving of the head as a sign of mourning and devotion to the gods, three times.
