Discussion
The heroic character, Chengannuraathi belongs to which narrative tradition of Kerala ?
Answer: C
Chengannur Aathi belongs to the Idanaadan Pattu.
Kerala's narrative ballads are grouped by region. The Idanadan Pattukal are the ballads of the middle land, central Travancore, and the heroine Chengannur Aathi is from Chengannur in that region.
The Vadakkan Pattukal (northern ballads) celebrate heroes such as Thacholi Othenan and Unniyarcha, and the Thekkan Pattukal (southern ballads) cover figures such as Iravikkutti Pillai. Thottam Pattu is the ritual song that invokes the deity in Theyyam, not a heroic narrative tradition.
