Plot
The story of Jogwa is about Tayappa (Upendra Limaye) and Suli (Mukta Barve), who are forced by their families to become jogtins, a practice where they have to dress as women, beg for alms, and serve a deity. Suli becomes a jogtin because her hair has a knot, and Tayappa is compelled to act like a girl because he has blood in his urine. They both meet others like them and form groups. Living this way affects them mentally, and they lose their courage. Through their troupe, they learn about the lives of jogtins.
