Storyline

Season 1

In the town of Sambaloor set in Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu, lives a community that worships Goddess Angalamman. The community celebrates the Mayana Kollai festival over 10 days every year, and it is in these 10 days that this story unfolds. What starts out as parallel stories of kidnapping and arson, later unfolds into childhood trauma and conspiracy.

Season 2

When a distinguished lawyer and senior activist, Chellappa, who had advocated for Nandini’s defense, is discovered murdered, Sakkarai is summoned to aid the grieving family. Against the vibrant tapestry of the grand Ashtakaali Festival in the quaint town of Kaalipattanam, the investigation gradually exposes buried secrets from the past, which loom ominously over the present.
