Summary: The prolific actor Raghavan’s directorial debut
is set at festival time in a North Kerala village.
The corpse of a young woman, presumed to be
the temple-keeper’s daughter, is found in a
well. A trade union activist is arrested and dies
in police custody, after which the templekeeper’s
daughter turns up alive to everyone’s
embarrassment. However, she is later killed
and her body found in the well during the next
festival. In an ending reminiscent of
Nirmalayam (1973), the distraught templekeeper
frenziedly strikes himself with a sacred
sword during the performance of his ritual
duties.
