Thiruvathirappattu is sung during the occasion of Thiruvathira celebrated on the Thiruvathira asterism in the Malayalam month of Dhanu (December/January). Thiruvathirappattu is the song that accompanies Thiruvathirakali. In Thiruvathirakali, dancers execute graceful movements full of laasya around a lighted traditional wick lamp (nilavilakku). The dance follows a circular, pirouetting pattern accompanied by clapping and singing. The songs sound like a flowing river – sometimes it moves swiftly; sometimes they hurtle down like waterfalls; sometimes they have docile movements and at times they are serene.
