The Peshwa worships a glum Manu during the 'Kanya Puja', much to Vahini's unease. Manu eats a morsel of food as a mark of respect for the puja. Vaishali's mother meets Manu outside the puja venue and lauds her bravery even while lamenting the society's patriarchy. As Vaishali searches for Kanta in the palace and gets lost, Nana flirtatiously helps her. As Nana is about to leave for Kanpur with Indu's 'shagun' for Shyam Rao, the latter's aide tells them that Shyam Rao doesn't wish to wed Indu.
