Kodungallur Bharani Pattu Lyrics

“Amme! Amme! Kodungallor Amme! Unakku pattu paaduvom, kettukkolle Amme. Mulam vittu vaa, mulam vittu vaa— Unakku muttayi tharum, njan ariyum.”

To understand the lyrics, you must understand the deity. Kodungallur Bhagavathy is worshipped as Bhadrakali—the fierce slayer of the demon Darika. According to legend, after killing the demon, the Goddess was in a state of extreme fury (red-hot rage). To calm her down, the gods and devotees adopted a unique approach: they engaged her with rough, earthly, and even abusive language, treating her not as a distant deity, but as a family member or a village elder who needs to be snapped out of a trance. kodungallur bharani pattu lyrics
