Plot

The story is set in 1005 AD. Raja Raja Chozhan (Sarath Babu) and his son Rajendra Chozhan are benevolent rulers of the Chozha dynasty. As a mark of respect to the gods, they want to build a temple in Thanjavur. They appoint the master sculptor Iniyan (Vineeth), a handsome young man who is also a good dancer, to do the sculpture work for the big temple. However, Iniyan finds the palace 'narthaki' Muthunagai (Akshaya) not up to the mark and is unable to find the right girl to pose as the model for his sculpture work. Meanwhile, he meets a village girl Chamundi (Keerthi Chawla), who is said to be the granddaughter of a shepherd woman Azhagi (Manorama), who is not only beautiful but has an hourglass-like figure and dances like a dream. Iniyan slowly falls in love with his 'model', and when he expresses his love for her, she spurns it as she is the Queen herself. An absolutely shattered sculptor in a moment of remorse does something which is shocking and is the real twist in the tale.
