Sundari, despite being a specially- abled dwarf, rises as a priestess in a male-dominated role, overcoming discrimination with unwavering resilience and devotion. Sukun, discriminated against for her low caste, perseveres amidst Nepal's majestic mountains, crafting handmade products to support her family and defy societal constraints.
