Plot
Balamani is an orphan who works as a maid to Unniamma, the aging matriarch of the Ambalappattil family, and stays with her in the large mansion. She has a picture of Guruvayoorappan in her room, in front of which she lights a lamp every day and she talks to Lord Krishna as though talking to a friend. Though an ardent devotee of Lord Guruvayurappan (Lord Krishna), Balamani never gets to go to the sacred temple even though the temple is very close to the house. Every time she plans to go, something goes wrong. It is said that no one can visit Guruvayur until Lord Krishna decides to let you. This leaves Balamani wondering if her God doesn't want her to go. She likes the company and the love of Unniamma who treats her like a granddaughter. She is also friendly with her neighbour a lady named Janaki. Janaki tells her that her son Unnikrishnan will return to the village. Balamani says that she will meet him but she soon forgets due to all the work she has.
