Kusa is strong and competent in all crafts, including warfare, but he has an ugly, oil-cake-shaped face.

Then the nanny of the royal family of Madura kingdom, Kudi ( A hunchbacked woman) (Chandani Seneviratne), comes there and slaps the statue because she recognized the sculpture as the Princess Pabawathie (Pooja Umashankar), the daughter of King Madu (Palitha Silva), the king of Madura Kingdom and his queen (Kusum Renu).

Seelawathie tells Pabawathie that there is a tradition in their caste that the wife shall not see the husband until she becomes pregnant.

Kusa disguises himself as a workman and sees Pabawathie at a stable of horses and elephants.

When she is bathing in a pond he hides under the waterlily leaves and catches her hand.

Brokenhearted, Kusa goes to Madura and works as a cook, a potter, and a florist for the royal palace.

He prepares and sends delicious food, beautiful pottery, and garlands to Pabawathie.
