Rajarshi (Hindi)

While Raghupati, the priest of the Bhuvaneshwari Devi temple, believes that in order to please the goddess, a live sacrifice is essential, Raja Govind puts a ban on the practice. What follows is a struggle of power between the priest and the king. Raja Govind renounces his throne an becomes a Rajarishi, a royal sage. But he still hasn' t lost his kingdom. How will the Rajarishi emerge victorious? An entertaining tale on the practice of Bali Pratha, Rajarishi continues to remain one of Tagore' s greatest novels.
