The Essence of Raja is the essence of MAN. Good and evil aspects of society make conflicting demand on his sould, which is essentially lonely and detached, and in process he losses the identity, his triumph is on the spiritual level. Billo is daughter of earth, hers is firm belief that followers are the most beautiful thing on the mother earth as they have a very special place in the vision of God. Surrounded by sotnes She dream of floral riot, a "aangan wals ghar" in a vast paradise of flowers.

In this walk of life their dreams turn into night-mares and the battle for existence begins and in this battle of existence human faces loose their CONTOURS and then their identity and turn into stones, the city, a gigantic factory continuously grinds them into concrete. This is the saga of these four innocent souls who confronted the evil with their courage to go through the darkness to dawn of PEACE. The wheel of time keeps on moving there is o escape, only movement, ever increasing movement without aim THAT universal.
