== Production ==<br />
The story of the film is based on the life of [[Trivikrama Mahadeva]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Trust continues work of Mahadeva, who laid to rest orphaned bodies |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/trust-continues-work-of-mahadeva-who-laid-to-rest-orphaned-bodies-1128275.html |work=[[Deccan Herald]] |date=19 July 2022 |language=en |archive-date=30 November 2024 |access-date=12 February 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130210234/https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/trust-continues-work-of-mahadeva-who-laid-to-rest-orphaned-bodies-1128275.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Ammembala |first1=Naveen |title=Trivikrama Mahadeva: Bengaluru's 'burial man' is battling a hard life |url=https://thefederal.com/amp/states/south/karnataka/trivikrama-mahadeva-bengalurus-burial-man-is-battling-cancer/ |work=[[Puthiya Thalaimurai|The Federal]] |date=8 July 2022 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Babu |first1=Olivia Debroy & Blessy |title=Trivikrama Mahadeva: The mortician of the orphaned corpses in Bengaluru |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/trivikrama-mahadeva-the-mortician-of-the-orphaned-corpses-in-bengaluru/article65670901.ece/amp/ |work=The Hindu |date=1 August 2022 |language=en-IN |archive-date=9 August 2022 |access-date=12 February 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220809140853/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/trivikrama-mahadeva-the-mortician-of-the-orphaned-corpses-in-bengaluru/article65670901.ece/amp/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The filmmakers obtained permission to use Mahadeva's life story, which includes his experiences as a mortician of unclaimed bodies. The filmmakers reportedly agreed to pay Mahadeva a fee in exchange for the right to use his story in ''Samskaravantha''. However, Mahadeva claims that he was not paid by the producers of either ''Samskaravantha'' or ''[[KA-99 B-333]]'', despite being promised compensation at the time the filmmakers obtained permission to use his story. Raghunath, the producer, stated that he had intended to provide compensation to Mahadeva. However, the amount Mahadeva requested was equivalent to half of the film's production cost, which was deemed excessive for a low-budget tribute film. Mahadeva has reportedly expressed indifference to the films, citing his dissatisfaction with the lack of compensation he received and stating that he has no interest in watching them.<ref name=":BM1">{{cite news |title=No joy in biopic for man who takes care of unclaimed bodies |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/no-joy-in-biopic-for-man-who-takes-care-of-unclaimed-bodies/articleshow/22218747.cms |work=Bangalore Mirror |date=13 February 2009 |language=en}}</ref><br />

== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While Kashi has done an excellent job, Padma Vasanthi is impressive and Suchendra Prasad is superb. Elukoti Chandru has done a good job as cameraman."<ref name=":TOIR">{{cite news |title=Samskaravantha Movie Review |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/samskaravantha/movie-review/4120301.cms |work=The Times of India |date=10 May 2016}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' wrote, "The quality of production is shoddy in places and the background music becomes noise most times. Many bizarre incidents are dwelt with in just dialogues to cut down on costs. Even still the film comes across as a unique attempt at telling an unusual story. A good first time attempt by the director."<ref>{{cite news |title=Samskaravantha: An unusual life |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/samskaravantha-an-unusual-life/articleshow/22217796.cms |work=Bangalore Mirror |date=14 February 2009 |language=en}}</ref><br />
