Plot:
When a childless Brahmin couple find a baby left alone; they prefer to adopt her. Since they are rich and childless; they grew her up in wealth and pomp. But; when the girl grows up; she concentrates upon Lord Murugan and not thinking of marriage like other girls of her age. When the parents think of her marriage; she tries to escape from it; as she is devoted more to Murugan. Hence; she prays to become an old-aged woman. (As no young man likes to marry an old lady.) Murugan obliges and when others see it; they feel shell-shocked and understand what has happened. Now; this old woman is called as Avvaiyar (K.B.Sundarambal). Avvaiyar leaves her parent's village to go around many places preaching Murugan's greatness through her songs. She also goes around and solves many problems. Impressed by her devotion; a local king and his 2 daughters ask her to stay at the court for some days. Avvaiyar gets impressed by their hospitality and blesses them. And once again she goes around preaching and solving many problems. Now; after a long time; she once again comes across the 2 princesses; but in ordinary dress living in a hut. She then comes to know that their father's enemies killed him and they imprisoned the person (Gemini Ganesan) who was to marry the 2 girls. Now; Avvaiyar approaches the kings who were the slain king's former friends. But; they refuse as they are afraid of the powerful enemies. Hence; Avvaiyar herself goes to save the person (Gemini Ganeshan). When she prays to Murugan; he sends many elephants towards the enemies' fort and the wild elephants destroy the enemies and bring back the man. Now; with her mission over; she moves to another place where a boy asks a funny question; towards which she could not give a convincing reply. Then; the boy reveals his real self; i.e he himself is the Lord Murugan whom Avvaiyar worshipped. Murugan now says that Avvaiyar can now leave the world to join the place of the divine.
