Laxmichya Pavlanni explores the worlds of two individuals from opposite ends of the spectrum: Kala, the middle-class artist who carves idols with her heart, and Adwait, a rich businessman shaped by privilege and ego.
When Adwait seeks a ‘Lakshmi idol’ for his home, he encounters Kala’s creations—and her spirit. Their initial dislike slowly turns into understanding and love. Fate binds them into marriage, forcing both to reconcile their differences and family expectations.
The show delves into:
- Urbana aspirations vs traditional family values

- Sibling dynamics: Adwait’s brothers (Rahul, Soham) and sisters-in-law expand the emotional canvas
- Multi-layered relationships: Kala’s bond with her sisters Nayana and Kajal, Adwait’s bond with his cousin Rahul and brother Soham, and the strong presence of grandparents and parents
