During the 1940s, the royal family of Amerkot is in debt to the region's wealthiest money lender, Govind Seth. His beautiful daughter Gayatri is attracted to Rana Indravadhan Singh Deo, known as Ranaji, the King who has recently returned after fighting in World War II. Ranaji encounters Gayatri numerous times but is unaware of her actual identity. His mother Rajmata Priyamvada finalizes a deal with Govind Seth and compensates for the debt by arranging the marriage of Ranaji with Gayatri. The latter agrees because she has developed feelings for the King but is oblivious of his hatred. The story is about the journey of Gayatri from an ordinary girl with dreams that did not quite transpire how she had envisioned. However she does win the hearts of all people in Amerkot and those within the Raj Mahal.
