Plot
Shankara is the son of a Kola performer, which has become a dying tradition. He is a government school teacher and is hesitant to perform the ritual since the modern day society shuns the Kola community (who are considered untouchables). He is from a poor family and his father is a drunkard who wastes money.
Eventually, Shankara performs Kola for the first time in order to keep the dying tradition alive.[6]
