The hymns to Shiva heard on this recording, typically performed by the oduvar cantors, are sung at daily rituals and for calendar feasts in temples of Tamil Nad. Based on the raga and pan, these short hymns are sung for the pleasure of the faithful and the gods. Ocora has done their usual stellar job of collecting the best recordings possible in an effort to preserve musical traditions that in some cases date back centuries.
