[1] Veteran actor Jai Shankar plays the son of the Pannaiyar, who returns from abroad where he studied medicine.
Forced by circumstances to fulfill his word, Rajan presents the chain to his daughter.
For saving his child, Pannaiyar gifts money to the priest's girl, but they refuse, asking whether that was the cost of a life.
Hearing this, Askokan goes to the temple to seek the goddess's verdict by choosing between two covered sheets of Vibudhi (holy ash) and kumkum.
Rajan rushes to save the temple and the idol and after much confrontation with Ashokan, he admits that he placed Vibudhi in both the packets.
The film ends with Rajan admitting his misdeed and changing of the gold chain and the money due to circumstances.
