| 14 | The prolific actor Raghavan’s directorial debut |
| 15 | is set at festival time in a North Kerala village. |
| 16 | The corpse of a young woman, presumed to be |
| 17 | the temple-keeper’s daughter, is found in a |
| 18 | well. A trade union activist is arrested and dies |
| 19 | in police custody, after which the templekeeper’s |
| 20 | daughter turns up alive to everyone’s |
| 21 | embarrassment. However, she is later killed |
| 22 | and her body found in the well during the next |
| 23 | festival. In an ending reminiscent of |
| 24 | Nirmalayam (1973), the distraught templekeeper |
| 25 | frenziedly strikes himself with a sacred |
| 26 | sword during the performance of his ritual |
| 27 | duties. |
