Batt\u00e9 Paat<\/h3>\n

Batt\u00e9 here refers to path\/road . Kodavas sing Batt\u00e9<\/em> in many occasions , for instance while going to Manepaat ritual from Oor Mandh<\/a> , Batt\u00e9 Paat is sung describing the beauty of walking path and surroundings, that includes meadows like Baan\u00e9<\/em>, waad\u00e9<\/em> , while approaching the house , the song describes the Oani (gateway of the house ) , the kakkatt (side compound) , the bakka poar\u00e9 (guard house) , patti<\/em> (front yard) , kall boati ( a stone pillar in the yard ,used for tying cattle) , mott (stepping stones) , kattol\u00e9<\/em> <\/a>(door frame) , kayyal\u00e9<\/em> (veranda of Kodava style house ), Nellaki Nadubaad\u00e9<\/em> (sacred central hall ) , Mundh<\/em> (courtyard), Nellaki (sacred wall ) etc . Similar song is sung while escorting relatives from Waad\u00e9 to wedding house after Baal\u00e9 B\u00e9ngo ritual, while escorting groom from Gudda ( Bathroom) to the house, while escorting (Yethth poaraata) to temple, while escorting house owner and his belongings from old house to newly built house on the Man\u00e9kooduva day ( House warming ceremony) . While the men sang this using traditional drum (Dhudi<\/em><\/a>) , Kodava women folk sang same song using Thaala (cymbals), unfortunately women singing these songs has been extinct long ago . The tone and beat of Batt\u00e9 Paat is different from Baalopaats<\/a> <\/em>. Kodavas of Aelnaad region sing this song with a lengthier notes than the singers of rest of Kodagu.<\/p>\n
