==Plot==

In the past, the young Seethalakshmi ([[Raadhika]]) became pregnant but she didn't reveal the father's identity. To punish her, the village chief Periya Ayya (Vittal Rao) ordered her to live alone in a small hut and after the childbirth, he took her newborn son. Whereas, Dharmaraj ([[Sivakumar]]) and Varalakshmi ([[Viji]]) got married. Periya Ayya then sent the baby to another village.

Many years later, Sakthi ([[Vineeth]]) comes back to his village and he becomes the manager of the village's temple. Sakthi thinks that he is an orphan. Afterwards, Sakthi and Raani ([[Yuvarani]]) fall in love with each other. Soon, Varalakshmi's brother Sethupathi ([[Nizhalgal Ravi]]) tries to rob the temple's costly things. On his first attempt, Sethupathi's henchmen fail because of Sakthi. The second time, he robs the temple's [[Kalasam]]. He then traps the innocent Sakthi and Periya Ayya dismisses him. Sakthi finally comes to know the identity of his parents : Dharmaraj and Seethalakshmi. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.
