तेरे लिए मंदिर जाऊँ
तेरे नाम का दिया जलाऊँ
मैं ख़ुदा में मानूँ नहीं
पर माँगूँ दुआ तेरे लिए।

Gauri Shukla does not believe in God.
Growing up in a house where every wall echoes with Shiv bhajans, every Monday fast is sacred, and faith is as natural as breathing, Gauri somehow turned out different. Practical and quietly wounded by the dreams she left behind, she has learned to believe only in hard work and the people she loves.
Rishi Kashyap believes in God with the calm certainty of someone who grew up in temples and prayers. Soft spoken, patient, and impossibly gentle, he carries his faith like a quiet anchor in a chaotic world.
When Rishi returns from Canada to spend a few months in Chitrakoot, fate places him under the same roof as Gauri. Their rooms stand one above the other, their lives slowly intertwining in the small routines of a shared home.
A girl who questions faith.
A boy who lives by it.
Two people with completely different ways of seeing the world.
Between temple bells, summer evenings on the terrace, family chaos, and unspoken feelings, their story unfolds slowly. Not with grand gestures, but with small moments that change everything.
Because sometimes love does not arrive with certainty.
Sometimes it arrives as a question.
And sometimes... it simply becomes a matter of perspective.
