The Elephant God

A gold statue of Ganesh has vanished from a household in Benares, and the family wants it found. Prodosh Mitra (Soumitra Chatterjee), the detective Feluda, only came to the holy city on holiday with his cousin Topshe and the writer Lalmohan Ganguly (Santosh Dutta). Satyajit Ray, adapting his own novel, sets the case among Benares's crowded ghats and lanes and gives Utpal Dutt the role of Maganlal Meghraj.
