They are not from a well to do family. They get to know that one of the Shaligram stone has a gem inside it. They sell it to earn 6 Lakh rupees, which improves the financial condition.
The children propose to sell the remaining Shaligrams to earn more money. Kulkarni agrees to get the stones verified from the local goldsmith, but Neela apposes it as the Shaligrams are sacred stones.
