Clipping of day 2, 27.03.2006: end of samkṣēpam, acting and recitation of verse 1

Cēṭi: Ēṭanāṭu Sarōjini Naṅṅyār
Miḻāvu (drum): Nārāyaṇa Nampyār (Sārojini Naṅṅyār’s son)
Tāḷam (cymbals): Kōmāḷam Naṅṅyār

Sarōjini Naṅṅyār recites herself, because Kōmāḷam Naṅṅyār never learned to do so; in a ritual performance a Naṅṅyār by birth has to play the cymbals.
