[3] Kumaraiya is a temple priest in a village, living with his wife Valli and younger brother, Sundaram.

Before Kumaraiya could even attempt to resolve these issues, the keys of the temple are taken away from him by Dharmalingham, and he can no longer pray nor converse with Lord.

Kumaraiya says he will use the treasure for development and Sundaram argues that it is the school which will lead to progress and not the temples.
