Three years after her husband passes away, the widow of the Patriarch of a famous Namboodiri (Brahmin caste from Kerala) family becomes pregnant. The prestige of the family is paramount and the Namboodiris have devised a way to get the family out of this so-called sticky situation with their respect intact. Learned Namboodiris from all over the land would assemble at the house and conduct an enquiry into what happened and all who were responsible. All the while, the family needs to treat these esteemed guests to daily feasts and monetary allowances. In the end, the woman who brought disgrace to the family would be ostracised and left at the mercy of lechers who wait at the gates.
