Plot
The film revolves around Murugan, his birth, marriage, and acceptance of the post of head of the army of heaven. In Hinduism, there are six abodes of Lord Muruga, known as the "Arupadaiveedu". The story behind each of the abodes is portrayed chronologically in the film. It starts with Swamimalai, where Lord Muruga teaches the meaning of the word 'OM' to his father, Shiva. He goes to Palani Hills after a fight over a sacred fruit, that is his second abode. Then he wins over the demon king Surapadman in Thiruchendur and that is his third abode. The King of Heaven, Indra offers his daughter's hand in appreciation of Lord Muruga's victory, and he marries her in Thirupparamkunram, his fourth abode. He later marries Valli in his fifth abode of Thiruthani, and after a short dispute between both his wives, they amicably settle in Pazhamudircholai, his sixth abode. All the events are summarized by Nakkeerar, a great Tamil poet portrayed by Sirkazhi Govindarajan at the end of the film.
