ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ ಪಾವಲಕ್ಕಿ ಪ್ರಾಸ

ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ ಪಾವಲಕ್ಕಿ ಪ್ರಾಸ:

ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ ಪವಲಕ್ಕಿ
ಕಾಂಚಣ ಮಿಣಮಿಣ
ಡಾಮ್ ಡೂಮ್
ಟಸ್ ಪುಸ್
ಕೊಯ್ ಕೊಟಾರ್ “

ಇದರ ಅರ್ಥ ಏನು ಅಂತ ಗೊತ್ತಾ? ಹುಚ್ಚರ ಹಾಗೇ ಏನೇನೋ ಆಟ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ಹೇಳಿದಾಗ, ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜಿ ಹೇಳಿದರು

ಹಾಡು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಜೀವನದ ಘಟ್ಟಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ – ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಬಾಲ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ ತಿಂತಾನೆ‌.

ಪವಲಕ್ಕಿ – ದೊಡ್ಡವನಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಪಾವಕ್ಕಿ ಅನ್ನ ತಿಂತಾನೆ.

ಕಾಂಚನ– ಯೌವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ದುಡ್ಡು ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಓಡಾಡುತ್ತದೆ.

ಮಿಣ ಮಿಣ– ಕೆಲಸ ದುಡ್ಡು ಎಲ್ಲ ಇರುವಾಗ ಅವನ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲ ಮಿಣ ಮಿಣ ಎಂದು ಹೊಳೆಯುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತದೆ. 

ಡಾಮ್ ಡೂಮ್– ಆಮೇಲೆ ಧಾಮ್ ಧೂಮ್ ಎಂದು ಅವನ ಮದುವೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಟಸ್ ಪುಸ್ – ಮದುವೆಯಾಗಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳಾದ ನಂತರ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಟಸ್ ಪುಸ್, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಹೇಳೋದನ್ನೇ ದೊಡ್ಡವರು ಕೇಳಬೇಕು.

 ಕೊಯ್ ಕೊಟಾರ್ – ಕೊನೆಗೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ಮರಣ. 

ಹೇಗಿದೆ?”

Avalakki Pavalakki
Kanchana Meena Meena
Dham Doom
Tas Pus
Koi Kotar “

Do you know what this means? When I said it was some kind of game like a madman, my grandmother said

The song tells the stages of a person’s life on earth.

Avalakki – A person eats Avalakki in childhood.

Pavalakki – When he grows up, he eats Pavalakki.

Kanchana – When he joins work in his youth, money flows in his hands.

Meena Meena – When he has work and money, everything in his life shines like Meena Meena.

Dam Doom – Then he gets married like Dham Dhoom.

Tas Pus – After getting married and having children, everything in a person’s life is Tas Pus, because adults should listen to what children say.

Koi Kotar – Finally, the person dies.

How is it?

Wearing black during Makar Sankranti

The tradition of wearing black during Makar Sankranti, though not universally followed, has deep cultural and symbolic meanings in various regions. Makar Sankranti marks the transition of the sun into the Capricorn zodiac sign, signifying the start of Uttarayan, a period when the sun moves northward, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. This period is associated with positive change, growth, and prosperity.

Wearing black is believed to have spiritual significance in this context. In some cultures, black is seen as a color that absorbs negative energies, providing protection to the wearer. This belief aligns with the festival's themes of spiritual purification and the dispelling of darkness—both metaphorically and physically—through the sun's journey into the northern hemisphere.

Moreover, black is often associated with the end of adversity and the beginning of a new phase. The festival of Makar Sankranti, which celebrates the transition from winter to warmer, brighter days, is a time for renewal, and the color black can be viewed as representing a final clearing of negativity or misfortune.

It's also important to note that cultural variations exist in how people observe Makar Sankranti, and the colors worn can differ. While some regions or families prefer black for the reasons mentioned, others may wear bright or celebratory colors like red, yellow, or white, which also have their own symbolic meanings related to the sun, light, and prosperity. 

Overall, wearing black on Makar Sankranti reflects a mix of spiritual beliefs, local customs, and symbolic connections to the themes of change, light, and protection.
