Marutham’s Nellu Vilayira Lyrics Translation

Neethi’s writing directly calls the “land where the paddy grows” the “god we worship every day.” The lyrics also identify the neem tree as the community’s specific god that offers protection and grants wishes. This approach grounds a broad spiritual belief in a tangible, everyday element of nature.
