Ein Girlandenmacher fertigt aus den Wurzelausläufern einer Wasserpflanze papierdünne Streifen, die er zu Kugelquasten weiterverarbeitet. Aus Bambusstäbchen bildet er das Gerüst eines Miniaturbaldachins und umklebt ihn mit den Streifen, die bemalt werden.

The garland maker (Mali) Ramphal Bhandari makes paper-thin strips from the root fibres of the aquatic plant kodhila. The Mali then ties the strips into round tufts or pompons (geni) suspended as decoration in religious ceremonies. The second part of the film shows the Mali making a jhanp, a temple-shaped miniature baldachin suspended over a place of worship.
