‘Kaattu vili paattu’ is a performative ritual originating from Kiltan Island in Lakshadweep. It was traditionally performed by women to ensure the safe return of odams (traditional sewn boats of Lakshadweep) from the mainland. During the ritual, people gathered at the northern end of the island, where food was served. Women would then approach the sea, call the wind (kaattu vili) and pray to Allah through the names and deeds of holy souls. They would symbolically draw the wind by their head scarfs and set it free into the sea.

With the decline of odams and their traditional usage, ‘Kaattu vili paattu’ is no longer in practice.

An excerpt from Yousuf Qissa, a poetic masterpiece by AI Muthukoya Thangal Androth.

Comprising 1839 lines across seven ishals (melodic frameworks), this work, embodying timeless imagery, is based on “Ahsanul Qasas” (The Best of Stories) from Surah Yousuf in the Holy Quran.

This passage, traditionally sung by women during the Aattam performance, was beautifully sung for Misrav by Hafza Hasbi on Kiltan Island.
