The main characters of the book are Muna, Madan, Didi, the sister of Madan and a Bhote, a Himalayan person. The story is simple . Madan had a wife named Muna. He was poor . He wanted to earn money going to Lhasa with other persons, On the way while coming back from Lhasa, he got ill. All his friends left him. He was helpless By the way, a person came there with a wooden lamp hearing his scream. This 'Bhote' Book him home and nursed. He got well after a long time. When he got well, he offered a bag for the 'Bhote'. But, he refused to take the gold. Then Madan got back home with gold. But by then, Muna was not there. She had already died.
