Sarbajaya is the wife of Harihar, and the matriarch of the central family. She lives in poverty and does her best to keep her household going while her husband struggles to find work. She has dreams of her own, but she has given up on them in order to support her family. This responsibility is especially burdensome because Harihar is easily cheated out of money and doesn't generally make very much. She must keep her children in line and then bear the loss of Durga at the end of the story. Her journey is a burdensome one, in that she is tasked with worrying and fretting about the future of her family. She barely smiles throughout the film and takes on a great deal of stress, often taking this stress out on the elderly Indir and the young Durga.
