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.
