DescriptionPullavan Veenai.jpg |
English: Pullavan Veenai, a string instrument, Origin: Very ancient, Region: Kerala. Material: Wooden frame, bamboo, monitor lizard's skin, nagachitamrada (snake plant). It has a flat circular base frame, covered by monitor lizard skin and a bamboo stick attached to it at the top, connected by a string. It is played using a low like the violin. Called the Pullava Veenai, this is basically a tribal musical instrument used by the Pulluvan tribals of Kerala. This is the base instrument for serpent worship in kerala homes, through a ritual called pulluvar paattu/sarppa thullal. Played by the Pulluva male, this is accompanied by a percussion instrument called the Pullavaththi Kudam, played by the tribe's women while singing Pulluva paatu. The songs are about Mahabarata, Nagyakshi stories or even agriculture. The instrument is famous in Valluvanad area of Kerala. The Pulluvas go on a 41 days fast before performing the Sarppa thullai in front of the sarppa kaalam.
