About<\/h2>\n

Uyya Paat is sung in the paddy fields , while the Naati Pani<\/em><\/a> \u00a0that is transplanting rice saplings. As the people transplanting gets tired and bored , usually few minutes before ending the work, one among them starts singing Uyya Paat , others respond to it as “O uyya” .<\/p>\n

Concept<\/h2>\n

The lyrics revolves around rice cultivation and the environment of that day in the rice field, with little bit of humour , and the lyrics changes from village to village . In some villages , the lyrics starts from Bisu Changrandhi\u00a0 and ends\u00a0 by singing about Puthari, in some villages only the current happy environment in the field will be sung. Like song talks about a young person whose style of transplanting is very good . This song reminds the glorious days of Kodavas following “Mui Aal<\/em> ” concept. (In Mui Aal , everybody in the village works in each other’s paddy fields, if one goes to work in 20 villagers rice transplanting work ,later during his transplanting work day, he’ll have those 20 people helping him out with transplanting.\u00a0 No daily wage workers were used in this concept ).<\/p>\n
