  1. Hi Irene. I was searching for Swathi Thirunnal padam lyrics and came across your blog. Beautiful, to say the least. I am a student of Mohiniyattam and am greatly drawn to Swathi Thirunnal Maharaja 🙏 lyrics. Could we be in contact with each other? I have learned the kalamandalam style in my school days and now pursuing my learning under the senior disciple of Guru Bharati Shivaji.I have been searching endlessly for the meaning of the lyrics of the padam " poonthen nermozhi ". Yet to find a satisfactory result to my search. Would you have any idea of leads on this?
