Puttagowri Maduve is being telecasted on E TV at 7 pm from Monday to Friday. Gowri a small eight year old village girl gets married to Mahesh, a boy a little elder to her. Though it was a child marriage nobody opposed to this as it was a custom in that village. Mahesh’s family was the family in authority in that village. So whatever they did was agreed upon. This family was headed by the granny, Ajjamma, as she was called by Mahesh and Gowri. Ajjamma was very much in command, not only in the house but also in the village. So nobody dared to go against her.
This child marriage being a custom and matter of prestige to the family, did not have any effect on the thoughts of Mahesh and Gowri. For these two this was just another game and they became the best friends. Mahesh mother found a daughter in Gowri and gave her all the love that she would have got from her mother. But Gowri’s mother and father were always worried of their small daughter because they knew that the family that she had been married to was very difficult for Gowri to adjust. As the worries of her parents, Gowri found it very difficult to adjust in the family. Ajjamma was a very strict grandmother and very perfect traditionalist. She made Gowri to follow many customs and rituals. The poor child was so scared of Ajjamma that she did everything that was told to her. As years went by the children grew up. But Mahesh and Gowri grew up as best friends who cannot live without each other. By now Gowri becomes the darling of every member in that house. Ajjamma then decides to make the young couple start their family as a proper married couple. So she starts some rituals which everyone follows happily.
Mahesh and Gowri are the most excited as they know that their childhood friendship is going to become a serious relationship. The last ritual was supposed to be on the day of ‘Holi’ festival. On the previous day of Holi, Ajjamma informs Mahesh that on the next day he has to apply ‘kumkum’ to Gowri, this will indicate that she is his wife and she warns him to be careful about unprecedented situations. Unknowingly, the next day, Mahesh applies that kumkum to a girl called Hima, who was just a guest to the Holi function and they didn’t know each other. This mistake changes the life of Mahesh completely. In the later episodes we can see that Mahesh continues his higher education and in this course falls in love with Hima and marries her, hence cheating on Gowri and making the fears of Gowri’s mother to become true.
