The story involves the long-term dispute between the two families who are considered as rivals for the ownership of Azhvarkurichi's Annamalaiyar temple for many generations. It is currently headed by Pattalathar Ammaiyappa and Gandhimadhi of the Ratnagiri family. Annamalai is the only daughter of Pattalathar and he named her after a temple's deity. The reason of rivalry between Pattalathar's family and Ratnagiri's family is because, one of the Gandhimathi's ancestor had lost the temple's ownership in gambling to the Pattalathar family. Since then, the two families fight for the temple.
The trouble unfolds when Ulaganathan (Gandhimadhi's son and heir to the property) falls in love with Annamalai. Using this opportunity, Gandhimadhi demands the Pattalathar's family to transfer the property deeds of the Annamalaiyar temple to her family after which Ulaganathan will marry Annamalai. Thavasi the eldest son of Patalathar is the one who holds the deeds of the Annamalaiyar temple. Thavasi is very fond of her sister Annamalai and for the sake of her happiness, he promises to transfer the deeds of Annamalaiyar temple to Gandhimadhi's family without the knowledge of Pattalathar.
After which Ulaganathan and Annamalai are married. Then the serial takes a turn when a murder occurs in their village and with schemes of Paarkavi who is the servant of Ghandimadhi, Annamalai faces a series of hurdles and problems, but still loves and cares for her family.
The story later portrays as to how she acts as an important character in building a bridge and ending all the misunderstandings the two families have had between them.
This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Section is not consistent with WP:TVCAST, which prefers organisation per Main and Recurring cast. If there is a need to further divide cast into family sub-sections, that should be discussed first and a consensus should be formed. It's also unclear what value "Miscellaneous" has, since we only care about significant recurring roles, and "Miscellaneous" doesn't convey any suggestion of cast/character importance. Wikipedia is not IMDb, so we don't need to list everybody who appeared on the series.(September 2020) |
