It is a modern take on the traditional Indian folktale of Savitri and Satyavan from the Mahabharata.

One day, satya gets kidnapped by rahukaal and in exchange of returning satya gulika asked to find rahukaal's hand to savitri. After many hurdles, savitri succeeded in bringing rahukaal's hand and rescue her husband.
