Spoilers ahead
King Okkaka, Ravindra Randeniya, is the emperor of India who rules from Kusawathie city, surrounded by his queen Seelawathie, Veena Jayakody, and two sons, Prince Kusa, Jackson Anthony, and Prince Jayampathi, Roshan Ranawana. Kusa is a formidable, multi-talented heir—skilled in crafts, warfare, and leadership—yet he bears an ugly, oil-cake-shaped face. Because of his appearance, he is openly disinterested in marriage, a stance that troubles his parents, especially his mother. In a bid to secure a match for him, Kusa crafts a golden sculpture in a woman’s form and challenges his mother to find a real likeness. The queen commissions two royal servants, Mahinda Pathirage and Mahendra Perera, to take the statue to distant lands until they discover a bride who resembles her.
