|The New Indian Express Kozhikode
THE rhythmic chants of children praising the presiding deity echoed across Chettikulangara, filling the air with devotion and other-worldly energy.
The village is alive with preparations for the grand Kumbha Bharani festival, set to take place on March 4 at the Chettikulangara temple. The kuthiyottam and kettukazcha are the main offerings of the Onattukara region's Bharani festival.
From dawn till midnight, young boys undergo training for the kuthiyottam ritual guided by experienced asans (teachers). The training begins coinciding with Shivarathri. Selected for their devotion, these boys learn intricate steps of the ritual, accompanied by soul-stirring chants in honour of the deity.
