Palanthai Kannan

A theyyam performed with utmost divinity at Kottappuram Vaikundanatha Temple, Nileshwar.
Tells the story of Migration
Also about the Janmi system
Then picking mango
Beating ............ then fled to Karnataka
Reside their in the house of a devotee of God Vishnu
He also became a staunch devotee
Wish to return with Olakkuda and sword
God also travelled with him
Tells the spread of Vaisnavism
Heard the news Kuruvatt Kurup send his men and killed Palathai Kannan
The infuriated God destroyed every thing near by
Frightened people approached astrolleger
Opined the presence of God
Then constructed a temple at Kottappuram now known as Vaikundanatha temple
Their resided Vishnumoorthi
Some History
Beating and killing Palathai shows the rigid caste syatem and Janmi system
The tomb of Palathai at Kottappuram shows the myth is not fully myth
With the martyordom of Palathai Kannan Vaisnava theyyams entered into the scenary
Vishnumoorthi became an inevitable theyyam in most of the Kavus were Kaliyattam held
The red colour of water near the Kadalikulam now a days [ where Palanthai Kannan was murdered ] shows what ? I here raising a question.............. belivers argued it is the mark of the killing and the power of Narasimhamoorthi
What happened to Kanakkappalli Anikkil Veedu, near Nileshwar bustand............... Anybody can inquire and find the decaying........................... stage............. the land was transfered from hand to hand................ Belivers think so............. but.................. answer expecting from viewers
Then Kadinjikkadav through Vishnumoorthi came with Palathai Kannan................. there also.............. what happened...left to the readers..........a chance to find out
Several other things on the way of Palathai Kannan
Thee Thamundi already performed south of Vlapattanam river
The same Mukhtheyuth [ face painting ] was used for Vishnumoorthi
In all the story of Palathai Kannan tells the review of political, economic and social condition of the period.
In total the Vishnumoorthi theyyam exhibits the assimilation of Kolathunad and Tul culture
At last.one more thing.the thottampattu was written by Palai Krishnan Parappen
Thats by I wrote an article Vishnumoorthi; More than a Myth
