PATENI
Pateni – if we use the literal language Patayani, is the rurel, rituallistic, performaing art of Kerala, especially of Middle Travencore. It is celebrated once in a year in front of the temple’s of Mother Godesses. Internally Pateni is one, but it is known generally by associating the partticular village is by Kottangal Pateni, Kalluppara Pateni, Kadammanitta Pateni etc. Kadammanitta Pateni has its own style and structure.
Kadammanitta Pateni starts every year on the first day of Medam, the Malayalam Month and continues if for ten days and ends on the tenth day night. As in every village the starting of Pateni is along with the ‘Chootu Vaippu’.
Here the mother goddess is called out to participate in the offerings given by the villagers. The 1st 2 days are ment for inviting and invoking the goddes. Third day onwards the offerings of the vilagers is carried out, Formerly there was system of Thikolam, PanchaKolam etc onparticular days. Now a days as such system has been spoiled as the intrusion of the devotees to offer the sacrifice is increased. However we keep the sixth day for Adavi and the eighth day for the Kuthire and Nayattum Padayum. On the nineth day the mother goddess is allowed to sleep. On the tenth day morning there is the performance of pateni without kolams and in the night goddess is send back to the shrine by playing on the drum associated with fire burning on the lengthy country torch made of dry coconut leaves. On the eighth day the performance should continue till the morning twilight on all the other days the performance should be stopped before dawn.
In Kadammanitta Pateni is exactly for the people, by the people and of the people and the mother goddess is the only odserver. Finally the goddess also gets ready to dance along with the village people. The body mind and intellect of every individual is innovated and stimulated so as to face any type of diasters and calamities that may follow the following days of the year. Kadammanitta Pateni recreates the body, mind and intellect of the whole village once in a year.
