Synopsis KANNAGI : The Wrath of a Chaste Woman
Derived from the famous epic, Silapadhikaram, Kannagi, is a Second Century Tamil epic by Ilangovadigal, containing references to dances and dancing customs of the times. This epic deals with a tragic love story of Kovalan, his wife Kannagi, and the beautiful danseuse Madhavi. Kovalan leaves his newly wedded wife for Madhavi as he was enraptured with her beauty and captivating dance talent. In due course, he loses all his wealth and have a misunderstanding with Madhavi.
After realising his mistake, he comes back to Kannagi and they both decide to leave Madhurai to start a new life. While trying to sell Kannagi’s silambu (anklet) , Kovalan is accused of theft and is executed by the Pandiyan King. Kannagi, heartbroken and enraged, marches to the Palace to seek justice from the King. The lost Pandya’s anklet is filled with pearls; and Kannagi proves the innocence of her husband by breaking her anklet filled with Manika paral (precious gemstone). Feeling guilty for lamenting injustice inflicted on Kovalan, the King dies; and the enraged Kannagi burns the entire Madurai
