A word about my BADAGA websites

One of the complaints I hear from our friends visiting my websitehttp://badaga.wordpress.com is that it takes ages to fully display all the contents. This is because, there are many multimedia posts like songs, pictures, animations etc.To overcome this drawback I have developed another set of websites in BLOG SPOT / BLOGGER with each page fromhttp://badaga.wordpress.com being made into an individual website that can load faster.Like for example, the most popular page ‘BADAGA SONGS ON THE WEB’ is made into a separate website > “Badaga Songs on the web” where you can listen to ‘Badaga Music’ without leaving the page and leave your comments as usual.

The Complete list of new weblogs in BLOGGER are

Badaga Wedding in pictures,

Badagas of the Blue Mountains-General Interest,

Badaga Songs on the WEB,

Badaga Rare Photos,

Badaga persons who made a difference,

Badaga Jewellery,

Badaga recipes.....,

Badaga Funeral Rites,

Badaga Songs,

Hethay Amma History,

Badaga Language,

Badagas of the Blue Mountains,

Badaga Villages,

Awake India. Enough is enough,

Tech it from me,

Karu Harachodhu - Funeral Prayer

Karu Harachodhu

In his book, THE GOLDEN BOUGH – A STUDY IN MAGIC AND RELIGION (1922) Sir James George Fraser (1854 – 1941) mentioned the following :-

Among the Badagas of the Neilgherry Hills in Southern India, when a death has taken place, the sins of the deceased are laid upon a buffalo calf.For this purpose the people gather round the corpse and carry it outside of the village. There an elder of the tribe, standing at the head of the corpse, recites or chants [known as - "KARU HARUCHODU"] a long list of sins such as any Badaga may commit, and the people repeat the last word of each line after him.

Badaga Months

1) Koodalu, 2) Aalaani 3) Nallaani 4) Aani 5) Aadire 6) Aadi 7) Aavaani 8 ) Perattaadhi 9) Dhodda Devige 10) Kiru Devige 11) Thai 12) Hemmatti

The more I listen to the song 'Kappu Uttileyu', the more fascinated I become. All the 12 Badaga months starting with Koodalu [given in Capital Letters] are beautifully integrated within the song.

Go here to listen to the song.

- Sidebar >scroll down to ->Badaga Dance Numbers

The lyrics of the song go like this :-

Kappu huttileyu neppuna sundari,

Oppi hegileyu dhirachiya mundari Kappu huttile naa hathuna notta dha, Keppu na huttile ondhuna notta tha

Thatti beetha sileyu nee edhega,

Kottu beetha hennu naa edhaga Muthu muthu mookathiga sokki hodhane, netti niddane Sothu pathu neetha endhu kaathundhu endhe dha, matha hegu dha, madhuvaya matha hegudha,

KOODALU thinguvana koodile singarene ,

AALAANI thinguvatha aa aagi varasha mamma , NALLANI go kollaandhu hega beda, , AANI huttidha mele badhila hegine baa mamma ,

AADHIRE jena nodi bae thumbi maathaadu ,

AADI mudidha mele ododi bannane mamma, AAVANI thinguvadhoge dhaavani singarava , Arattu perattu aara PERATTASI thinguvadha,

DODDA DIVIGEYA dodda kiru edhega ,

KIRU DIVIGEYA siri devi aagi banne , THAI mae thalaiga thatti kai yoda aatta paatta. HEMMATTI ebbaneyu aemaathithindhu hoga beda ,

Thatti beetha sileyu nee edhaga ,

Kottu beetha hennu naa edhega
