She wants him to lift a family curse of barrenness. With the burden lifted, her sons—the folk heroes Ponnar and Shankar—are born.

In an effort to glorify their family and heir kingdom Ponnivalanadu , these twin kings face combat with ferocious beasts and fierce warriors, until fate reclaims them and returns their spirits to Lord Shiva at just sixteen years of age. Little known outside of its home region, the story was brought to the world when Brenda Beck; then a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at Oxford; left to study Tamil society in India in There, she was presented with a live performance of the popular local legend, which is still sung by bards in the ancient oral tradition.

An epic adventure about the earliest farming origins in Kongu Nadu, the story took an astonishing eighteen evenings to perform, and used some 44 hours of reel-to-reel audio tape to record. While highly localized and surprisingly unique, the epic has a deep connection with the greatest of all Indian epics, the Mahabharata including reincarnations of some of its key heroic characters. It provides fascinating insights into Indian Tamil culture as well as Hindu folk mythology in general.

In , preliminary work began on adapting this great epic to create an animated series titled The Legend of Ponnivala. The result of that adaptation is an unparalleled animated series now in post-production comprising twenty six half-hour episodes. The style of the animation, created under the artistic direction of Indian-Canadian artist Ravichandran Arumugam and technical direction of Eric Harris, has been painstakingly crafted to reflect a traditional Indian folk art style, while the 2D animation is modelled on South Asian shadow puppetry.

This production has also spawned a complete comic book series in English and Tamil, as well as several children's stories, short films, classroom teaching materials, and soon a downloadable computer version of Parcheesi , an Indian strategy game that features prominently in the story.
