==Synopsis==
;Season 01
The story takes place in the small village of Kannikapuram where a curse has been cast upon the unwed maidens of the village by Ganga, a powerful deity. Abhirami, the lead protagonist, falls in love with a man from the same village but is unable to confess her love to him due to the fear of the curse. As a result, she decides to find a way to break the curse and save the unwed maidens from the wrath of Ganga.

Abhirami's journey takes her through various challenges as she tries to uncover the reason behind the curse and find a way to lift it. She faces opposition from the village elders who are wary of challenging the power of the deity, but she persists in her efforts, determined to find a solution. Along the way, Abhirami discovers the truth about her own family and her connection to the curse. Will she be able to save the village from the curse and marry the man she loves?

;Season 02
After the events of Season 01, the story continues with the marriage of Shiva and Gowri. However, Gowri soon realizes that Shiva still harbors feelings for Abhirami and not her. Faced with this reality, she decides to help Shiva marry Abhirami instead.

As the wedding preparations are underway, a tragic accident occurs which results in Shiva losing his memory. He has no recollection of his past, including his marriage to Abhirami. Gowri and Abhirami are left to pick up the pieces and help Shiva regain his memories.

This journey is not without its challenges, as Gowri struggles to come to terms with her own feelings for Shiva and Abhirami grapples with the possibility that Shiva may never remember their love. The story follows the trio as they navigate the complexities of their relationships and ultimately find a way to move forward together.
