Amravati Ki Kathayein
Lambs for Slaughter
S1 • E12 Aug 22, 1995
It is the annual festival of the Goddess Mutyalamma and the entire village is agog with excitement. Ten years old Polaiah's father had vowed to sacrifice a lamb to the Goddess for saving his son from a serious illness. The father and son pair goes off to inspect the lambs. Polaiah recognizes one of the lambs as the one he used to play with everyday, and is instantly plunged into deep sorrow. The rituals and fire walking begins. As the mass hysteria reaches the peak, Polaiah slowly slips out and sets the lamb free.
