Nadhaswaram is a story that happens in Pallathur, Karaikudi and revolves around Gopikrishnan, the second son of a large family. Gopi's father, Chokkalingam and paternal uncle Mayilvahanam, are Nadhaswaram players. Gopi is a responsible son of Chokkalingam and Meenakshi. Gopi owns a tailor shop in the town and is close friends with Kaja, his assistant. Gopi has 3 younger sisters, Maheswari, Ragini and Geetha. The 4 siblings have an elder brother, Sivagnanam, who ran away from home after Mayilvahanam scolds him years ago. Mayilvahanam is married to Deivanai and they have three children. The elder is Pandikumar, who is a useless smalltown ruffian, who always picks on fights with the other village youngsters. The other two are girls, Kameshwari and Parmeshwari. Mayilvahanam favours Pandi over his daughters as he believes that girl children are expensive to raise as they must be married off, and that son is an asset. This leads to Mayil to behave abusively with his wife and daughters. Chokkalingam and Mayilvahanam also have another younger brother and younger sister. Their brother, Rasappa is mentally challenged though, he speaks sane sometimes. Their sister, Pushpa, is married to Piraisoodan, a graduate and is a government servant. He works as a postmaster in his village, Peravurani. Piraisoodan thinks low of his brothers-in-laws and degrade them at any chance. Piraisoodan and Pushpa have three children as well. The eldest, Samandham is a comedy man, and totally useless. In the aspect of the show, he is a comical relief together with Kaja. The other two are Mahalakshmi and Sumathi.
