Events in her life and how she and her cousin attempt to overcome many risks to make their visit to the temple, receiving unexpected help in their journey and a stranger (Unni Mukundan) who joins them to assure their safe arrival at the temple, foiling the plans of other evil entities along the route, is what the film’s story all about.
Apart from Kerala, there are many Ayyappa devotees in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Hence, the film received a good response in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada language versions as well.
