about

Mayura Vannama

Recital of the Peacock. This is singing in praise of the Peacock bird, the vehicle of God Skanda, the glorious God with long spear and who is compassionate to his devotees.

The head movements of the Peacock, its vibrant colours, glittering fan like tail with spotted feathers, all add glamour to the recital.

lyrics

Lyrics of the Kaviya of Mayura Vannama

සතර සිව්වර බලැති දිඩතර - සුරිඳුනේ කදිරා
කතරගම පුර සුරිඳු වාහන - කරති රණ මොනරා
පතර තෙද ගම්භිර සතට සෙත - වේල අවිය දරා
නොහැර ඉසිවර යෙදුව මෙම යුර - වර්ණ කර මයුරා

Satara Sivwara Balethi Didathara - Surindune Kadira
Kataragama Pura Surindu Vahana - Karathi Rana Monara
Pathara Theda Gambira Sathata Setha - Vela Aviya Dara
Nohera Isiwara Yeduwa Mema Yura - Varna Kara Mayura
