Silpp-adhikaram is the story of theauthority that flows from justice,

righteousness, loyalty and courage. It isthe story of Kannagi, an extraordinarywoman who exemplified these traits. Itis to an almost equal measure, that of

Madhavi, whose character was far,above that generally associated with

her inherited station in life, that of acourtesan. And, it is about Kovalan,

who flitted between these two womenwith all the loyalty of a butterfly.
