Plot[edit]
This serial revolved around the Devadasi practice that prevailed in Tamil Nadu almost a few years after India's independence and how the dasi women are treated by the society. The story followed the rivalry between Rudramuthi Sastri, a very powerful Brahman in that village and his family and Manonmani, the dasi of the village and her family in the small hamlet of Kandhanallur on the banks of the river Kaveri.
Manonmani, a dasi comes back to her ancestral village of Kandhanallur with her daughter, Krishnaveni after 15 years of exile from the village where she, her daughter and granddaughter, Meenaatchi, who was a baby was exiled by the village's people. As soon as she comes, she goes to meet Rudhramoorthy Sastri and his son Saminatha Sastri and vows that she will wreak havoc in their perfect lives like they wrecked her's 15 years ago.
In the meanwhile Sundhersan, Saminatha Sastri's son falls in love with Meenaatchi while they are studying in the college. Krishnaveni never revealed who was Meenatchi's father to anyone for the reasons only known to her but Meenatchi's is obsessed to find out the truth. Pachiamma, the village midwife extorts Manonmani to safeguard a secret known only to them.
Gowri, Rudhramoorthi Sastri's daughter married a Christian man, David and because of that, her mother committed suicide. They have a son, Kirubakaran. Her family never forgave her and cut all their ties with her. She is suffering from cancer now.
What is the reason for enmity between Manonmani and Rudhramoorthy Sastri? Why was Manonmani's family exiled from the village in the first place? Did Manonmani wreak havoc in Rudhramoorthi Sastri's family? Who is Meenaatchi's father and why Krishnaveni is keeping this a secret? What if the secret between Manonmani and Pachaiamma?What is the fate of the relationship between Sunderesn and Meenaatchi? These are the questions that are answered in the course of this serial with lots of twists and turns.

Krishnadasi was remade in Hindi under the same title, Krishnadasi , starring Shravan Reddy and Sana Amin Sheikh on Colors with significant changes in the story.
