==Plot==
The story revolves around greedy Kodeeswari, a mother who wishes that someday her daughters would marry into a wealthy family. But whose bond will form with whom, the decision lies in the hands of God. On the important [[Saraswati Puja]] holiday in [[Tamil Nadu]], the extravaganza begins. Every year, the famed diamond merchants, the Vedachalams, observe [[Saraswati Puja]]. Mahalaxmi, the second daughter of Kodeeswari, has been given this year's task of decorating the entire Puja. Three sisters who reside with their parents. Her mother hopes that one day one of her daughters will marry into a prosperous household. Because of Maha's artistic talent, Kodeeswari intends to accompany her daughters to the Vedachalam house.

On the other side, the Vedachalams are a joint family. The three brothers in the family are adored by their grandparents the most. The youngest brother is Vijay, who writes poems and is an excellent poet. The middle brother Gowtham is a playboy, who is carefree and readily drawn to everyone and also envies Surya and aspires to make sure that he doesn't get the best things in life. Surya is Vedachalam's eldest grandson, who is the most adored and is in charge of his family's business since he is the eldest son.

The story unfolds when Mahalakshmi harbors hatred from her first encounter with Surya, where she demanded wedding selection tickets. Aishwarya, initially chosen to be Surya's wife, decides to refuse the role and opts to be with Gowtham instead.
