Kedar Gouri

Kedar and Gouri have been deeply fond of each other since childhood. Kedar's father and Gouri's father are village heads and have a rivalry between them. As both Kedar and Gouri grow, their fondness transfers into intense and enduring love. But their families do not allow them to meet each other and place a barrier between them.
