Song Description

The worship of Kaarikh Dharmaraj begins with the devotee’s humble invocation. As a folk deity, his worship is less bound by formal rituals and is instead marked by intimacy, simplicity, and deep emotion. In this song, an elderly devotee—despite age, falling teeth, and exhaustion—searches for Kaarikh Pajiyar in all four directions with unwavering devotion, while also remembering other local deities. Through names like Andu, Meera Sultan, Dhawalagiri, and Ganga–Hanuman, he invokes the presence of divine power everywhere. This song reflects the profound folk faith of a devotee, for whom the deity is not a distant sovereign but the loving guardian of the household—an affectionate ‘Balak Pajiyar’ whose very remembrance becomes the greatest source of devotion
