The lyrics of Kodungallur Bharani Theri Pattu are written in Malayalam, a Dravidian language spoken in Kerala. The song is a poetic expression of the mythological story of the goddess Bharani, who is believed to be the embodiment of feminine power and fertility.
In 2018, the Kerala High Court intervened to regulate the festival, stating that while the ritual has historical value, the explicit lyrics should not be forced upon unwilling participants. Today, the lyrics are still sung, but with a "consent-based" participation model. Kodungallur Bharani Theri Pattu Lyrics Malayalam
