Sirumarani tells the story of a woman who struggles to secure her womanhood amongst her relationship and responsibilities. The play is written in a folklore style based on the Western part of Nepal and carries different love stories as its base. There is a fisherman in a village. Once, he traps a golden fish in his fishing-net. He takes that fish to his home and finds it to be a tremendously beautiful lady. He comes to know that the lady is actually a cursed snake-fairy. The fisherman marries the lady and they have a baby daughter- Siru. After getting the baby, the snake-fairy leaves her husband and daughter behind and goes to her own world. A blind prophet, forecasting his daughter’s good fortune, says that Siru will become the queen of a powerful king of the world. But Siru falls in a love with a poor porter in her youth. Knowing about the forecasting, her father is furious and Siru ends up marrying a powerful king instead. However, she soon learns that she married the king in the body of his son. Siru entangles herself in a dilemma to recognize her actual husband. She tries to find out the solution and this endeavor of Siru collapses the royal palace which is portrayed in the play as a metaphor of male ego.

This is the story of our present and future. In this play, the soil begins as a symbol of life, joy, and prosperity. But over time, human negligence, pollution, and selfish behavior make the soil sick it can no longer breathe, nor can it nurture plants.At that moment, an innocent child, carrying hope, approaches the soil with a small sapling. Through his effort, love, and patience, the soil strives to live again and ultimately, the rebirth of life becomes possible. This play reminds us that we are not separate from nature we are part of it. When the soil suffers, we suffer; when the plant dies, we lose our future too.
