The little girl is dubbed a miracle child and an incarnation of Ma Lokkhi, and becomes the object of worship for the superstitious villagers. The doctor and his colleagues fight against the social superstitions prevalent in the village, but will they succeed in banishing centuries old superstitions? The story of Lokkhi Chhele is inspired by a real-life incident in Bihar.
