This song is from the 1981 Indian Hindi-language drama film Saptapadi (= Seven steps). The film is not only about the seven steps that one takes during a Hindu wedding that symbolise the act of shedding bachelorhood and entering a more stable married state but also talks about an individual’s journey breaking away from the shackles of conservatism to finding a path of understanding, encompassing and enlightenment.
Music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan to the Lyrics penned by Veturi Sundararama Murthy. Sung by S. Janaki.
