Kappu ketti Bhadrakalipattu(song to praise the
vigorous spirit of Bhadrakali)
It is an antique temple art which is known as Thottam pattu
also. This sacred song can never learned from black and
white but only from oral listening. Kannaki Devi is placed
after kappu kettu from Kodungallur. On the fourth day of
the festival begins the malappuram pattu. It traces the
wedding between Kannaki and Kovilan. At the same time the
natives earnestly submit the garlands in procession to the
temple. On the seventh day of the festival sings the konnuthottupattu.
Kovilan is executed by the Madhura king accusing theft but
Kannaki proves the truth and with her power of chastity
wakes him up from mortality and set fire to the whole Madhura.
Kannaki gets the guise of the Devi and moves to south and
reaches Kodungallur.
