To explore the different shades and the mysteries surrounding the character, he arrives at Kottur to learn the intricacies of the person.

Ravi Chandrasekharan in an attempt knowing about KTN also understands the customs of people living there are weired too. One such incident is where he wakes up abruptly in middle of a night covering his mouth because of nausea. Some bad odour gives Ravi vomiting sensation & he checks around but finds nothing.
