- Summary:
- "[This film] depicts the spiritual journey of Kanakadasa, who was a devotee and poet belonging to the Dasa sect. Kanaka, who is the chieftain of a fort wishes to marry a lass ... much to the chagrin of his opponent. In a riveting battle scene, Kanaka is on the verge of losing, while Lord Krishna appears and asks him to surrender himself to divine grace. Man of high-temper, Kanaka refuses and continues fighting. As fate would have it, Kanaka is mortally wounded and healed by Lord Krishna. Surrendering himself to the divinity, Kanaka becomes a dasa [servant] to the Lord. With his unflinching devotion, dedication, he gets the trust of a Guru. Inspired by his Guru to visit the historic Udupi Sri Krishna Temple, Kanaka reaches there, only to be denied entry. Kanaka is charged with defying law and is punished. His eyes are about to be gouged, Miracle happens. Lord Krishna's idol turns around, breaks opens the wall and offers Darshan to Kanaka. This supposedly led to the formation of Kanakana kindi. Kanaka is accepted as a true Saint by the society and spends his life singing praise of the Lord and composing poems on Lord, including Mohana Tarangini, Rama dhyaana charitre."--Wikipedia.
