Rajata, Gamzati’s father, has promised his daughter Solor as a husband. The vengeful princess hides a snake in a basket of flowers meant for Nikia. During the bayadera dance at a temple celebration, she is fatally bitten by the snake. The Brahmin offers Nikia an antidote in exchange for her love, but she refuses. Dying, she reminds Solor of his oath of eternal fealty. Solor is devastated by the death of his beloved. Under the influence of opiates, he is transported to the Shadow Realm, where he meets the spirit of Nikia. Back in reality, he can’t shake the memory of the encounter. At Gamzati and Solor’s wedding celebration, before the exchange of fealty vows, the temple is collapsed by an earthquake. Everyone perishes, and the spirits of Nicia and Solor are finally reunited in the afterlife.
