A song that is full of love and yet earthy is the padam of Kshetrayya, a wandering poet-musician who wrote padams in Telugu in the 17th century, which were performed by the devadasi dancers who rose to prominence in the Nayaka courts. The film reflects on the entwined fortunes of the padams and the women they were written for, from the 17th to the 20th century
