Explanation

Udhaya Kumaran, the Chola prince, falls deeply in love with Manimekalai in the Tamil epic. He is the son of the Chola king and proposes to her, but Manimekalai, having embraced Buddhism and become a nun, chooses spiritual path over worldly attachment. Karikalan was a historical Chola king, while Imaya Varamban and Adithan are other figures from Tamil literature but not the prince in this story.
