An Indian prince leaves his world of comfort and riches behind to wander and meditate for six years in search of spiritual enlightenment.

During his meditations, he is tempted by erotic dancing women, demons, and the evil machinations of his criminal cousin. Devastate to attain the spiritual perfection and become the Buddha. He travels to convert followers by his kindness and wisdom, gaining a multitude of believers when he stops an elephant from crushing a local priest.
