Palani Bharathi | V.M. Mahalingam • From “Chevvaikizhamai”
Chevvaikizhamai’s Mani Mani Koyilmani Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Palani Bharathi describes villagers who ‘appear good’ while hiding evil truths. Death strikes every Tuesday with funeral drums ‘like thunder,’ escalating fear until divine intervention becomes essential.
