Manjula advocated a cyclical concept of ayanāmsa, but it could not gain currency among almanac makers.
This movie was later remade in Telugu as Manase Mandiram (1966) starring Akkineni Nageshwara Rao, Savithri and Kongara Jaggayya and also in Kannada as Kumkuma Rakshe (1977) starring Rajinikanth and Manjula and Malayalam as Hridayam Oru Kshethram (1976) starring Madhu and Srividya.
Manjula stood near the banyan tree crying and Poonthanam who passed by told her "Guruvayurappan knows what's in your heart, keep the garland on the banyan tree and he will take it".
•
When Poonthanam saw this, he called out to the Lord saying "That's Manjula's Garland, let it also fall".
