Kodungalloor Bharani. Kali. Kali. Kali. She walks the earth as Goddess Kali. With a hooked sword in her hand. Bells
jangling on her waist. Eyes wild in a frenzied trance. And each vein in her body, throbbing with
the rage of red.

Like the River Periyar that flows into the Arabian Sea, blood streams down her face and temple,
freely and hysterically. She is a komaram, an oracle, and through her devotion and complete
surrender to the goddess Kali, she redeems us all. As an illuminator of the truth, a velichappadu,
she breaks every barrier of caste, gender, religious norms and sexual propriety, and restores
balance once again in all the three worlds.

At the Bharani Festival in Kodungallur, on the Malabar coast of Kerala, faith and frenzy fuse like
a fevered dream every year in the harvest season of March and April. Red wave upon wave
of Komarams flood the Sree Kurumba Bhagavati temple as they always have. Century after
century. Generation after generation.

Virtual Bharat. A 1000 film journey, one story at a time.
