Subbaiah is a Brahmin living off Tiladaanam, the meanest form of Brahmin duties. He ekes out his living in Hyderabad, by becoming a corpse-carrier, and earning very little. When the film opens he is told of the birth of a grandson. His daughter-in-law, Padma, is living with him, while his son has become a Naxalite. On the night the child is born, the son Raghuram, makes a clandestine visit home. The anti-Naxalite squad enters Subhaiah's house, and ransacks the little that he has. Raghuram escapes police firing and kills a policeman in the attack. Raghuram suggests that since he is not able to help the family, and since his father refuses to take any money, he ought to surrender to the police, so that Padma can live off the reward. The shock of his son's surrender kills Subbaish, Padma waits in vain for the reward. A TARPAN for the departed souls. (Covertext)
