Plot
editMoggina Jade, which is a plaited jasmine braided hair extension, is traditionally worn by small girls in Southern Karnataka. Priya is denied her jasmine braid since her mother Rekha is modern and against Priya wearing it. Although her father Raghavendra was traditional, he changed after marrying Rekha. Her paternal grandmother Sarasamma hands the jasmine braid to her son Raghavendra, but the maid Nagarathna ends up getting it. Priya ends up getting isolated from her family and befriends a gypsy she meets on the road. How her family finds her and allows her to wear the jasmine braid forms the rest of the story.[4]
