Nakulan and his wife Ganga are on a holiday in their Kerala village. Nakulan plans to stay at the Madampalli mansion, his ancestral house, despite attempts from the locals to dissuade them. The couple moves in, and later Nakulan's maternal uncle Thambi warns Ganga to keep away from certain corners of the house. Bhasura, Nakulan's maternal aunt and Thambi's sister, reveals the reason why. Around 150 years before, the family's patriarch, "Karanavar" Sankaran Thambi travelled to Tanjore in Tamil Nadu, where he met and lusted after danseuse Nagavalli. However, she was in love with fellow dancer Ramanathan. As a result, the Karanavar took her back to his palace by force. Nagavalli secretly made arrangements for Ramanathan to stay in a house outside the mansion and met him secretly. When the Karanavar discovered this, he slayed Nagavalli, whose bloodthirsty spirit started wreaking havoc in the village. The Karanavar, aided by priests and sorcerers from all over the state, tamed Nagavalli's spirit by locking it in a room in the palace's south-west corner, which later came to be known as the Thekkini. The Karanavar committed suicide weeks later.

Ganga believes that Nagavalli's story was fabricated to keep thieves away, but wishes to check it out. Ganga, aided by Bhasura's daughter Alli, gets a duplicate key to the Thekkini and opens the door. Strange things then begin to happen in the household, like an apparition frightening people at night, things inexplicably breaking, and Ganga's saree catching fire. Suspicion falls on Thambi's daughter Sridevi, who is known to have a troubled past featuring a broken marriage and spends most of the time with Ganga. Nakulan calls renowned psychiatrist Dr. Sunny to solve the case. When Sunny comes, a mysterious being tries to kill Alli. Sunny investigates other incidents, such as attempts to harm Nakulan by poisoning his tea and someone singing and dancing almost every night inside Nagavalli's locked room.
