Maheswari is a 1955 Indian Tamil language film produced by Modern Theatres and directed by T. R. Raghunath.

Manickam's father Dharmalingam demands a large dowry from Maheswari's mother, Kanthimathi, who somehow manages to give the amount.

However, Dharmalingam learns that Kanthimathi is ridiculed by the villagers as a woman of loose moral character.

Maheswari starts looking for a means to earn a living and she comes across Mayathevan, the leader of a gang of robbers who is wanted by the East India Company.
