The novel is acclaimed and very popular among Kannada readers, and is often prescribed as one of the "must-reads" novels of Kannada language.
It portrays the love between the protagonists, the risks they dare to take. It revolves around the social situations prevailed in Malenadu region around the end of the 19th century. The novel also depicts as how Malnad Region opened itself to the newer social changes such as advent of English education, conversion by Christian missionaries, introduction of new age elements like bicycle.
