padayani
The site is all about padayani an annual ritualistic festival celebrated in Bhadrakali temples of Central travancore zone with due dedications. It may be regarded as the remains of ancient Dravidian God concept and mode of worship offering Rathi (lust), Raktham (Blood) and Lahari (toxic mood) The very spirit of central travancore finds its appearance in Padayani as that of Malabar in ‘Theyyam’. All the Sixty Four artforms play their own vital role in Padayani. Actully this is a mixture of music, dance , painting, comedy etc. Padayani reflects the ancient socialist society before Ayryanization and four caste system. So in Padayani all the villagers take active part without racial discriminations. Each and every Padayani Karappuram (Village celebrating Padayani) observe padayani in their own way. In different aspets such as observation of rituals, order of performance and span of Padayani days difference noticed is ofcourse very huge.
