Parvati is unhappy in her marriage, and she finds solace in the company of her friend, Radha. The novel explores the themes of love, marriage, and social inequality. Parvati is a beautiful and intelligent young woman, but she is also poor and uneducated. She is married to Shankar, a wealthy landowner who is much older than her.

She is also afraid of what her family will think of her. Parvati finds solace in the company of her friend, Radha. Radha is a young widow who is also unhappy in her marriage. She and Parvati share their stories and their dreams, and they find comfort in each other's friendship. One day, Parvati meets a young man named Raghu. Raghu is a handsome and charming young man, and Parvati is immediately drawn to him. Raghu is also attracted to Parvati, but he knows that he cannot marry her. He is from a higher caste than Parvati, and their marriage would not be allowed. Parvati and Raghu continue to meet in secret, and their love for each other grows stronger. However, their relationship is doomed. Raghu is forced to leave the village, and Parvati is left alone and heartbroken. Gokarnichi Phule is a tragic story, but it is also a story of hope.
