The film tells the saga of the Dagars - the renowned family of Moslem royal musicians, who over many generations practiced and preserved dhrupad - the oldest form of Indian classical music, that has its origins in Hindu temple music and spiritual thought. The two main protagonists are Fahimuddin Dagar, one of the last bearers of the knowledge of this tradition, and his student Ashish Sankrityayan, the filmmaker, who wields the camera while learning, discussing, singing, and travelling with his teacher.
