- Vinod MangatWow Baletta! ....... this is a classic argument
that is going on for a long time...as to whether the song starts
with "Thechi Mandaram Thulasi" or "Chethi Mandaram Thulasi"....I
could only get this link......
http://devotionalsongs.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/chethi-mandaram-thulasi/
- Balakrishnan MenonVinod I need to admit that you are right -
all along I was under the impression that it is Thechi because that
flower is Thechi (as far as I know) - need to check on that flower
name also now!
- Ramkumar Nandakumar Tchethi or thechi photo
chethayittundu......
- Balakrishnan MenonThanks Ramu
- Very Nice Photo... Chetta....This Flower is very important for
Almighty "DEVI"Chettanmmare.... I think in our palakkadan side we
use to tell Thechi poovu. In one of my Devi song.. Kathukolka
Njgale Paradevathe enna songil... Naivilakku Vac...hhidam Nerchakal
Kazhichidam... Thechi Malacharthy Njgal pooja chaithidam...ennau
paduka.In some songs word using Chethi. Any way this song is nice
one... Thechi Mandaram Tulasi Pichhakamalakal charthy Guruvayurappa
ninne kani kanenam....
- Balakrishnan MenonHi Ram - nice - so the discussion is open
again!
- Vinod Mangat......Oops...I didn't mean to kick start any
argument. Let me say..whatever is the name of the flower or
whatever is the starting word of the song......the picture is
nice.
- Ramdas NairVinod Chettayeeee....same from me also ...picture is
nice......No argument at all... ok..
- Balakrishnan Menonnot really its not about aurgument - but it
was interesting information sharing
Thechi Mandaram........ 5.
- @ Balettan - thanks for initiating the dialogue @Ramdas Nair -
two good things happened with the posting of this picture by
Balettan...1) got to know a nice DEVI song of Palakkadan
origin...2) "chettayee"...and that's nice...Jnan oru
kocha...niyane!.... As far as I know...I think both Thechi &
Chethi are referring to the same species...
- Balakrishnan Menonloved this

- Balakrishnan Menonwonderful suggestion - gayathri here's a
boquet.
- Hari Nairbaluetta, now that you have a PhD on POOOOOOkal, could
you explain me the difference between Thechi and Chethi. always,
had this doubt in mind. It is a sincere question, pardon my
ignorance.
- Balakrishnan MenonPookalado chodichappol pookkal paranchu oru
perilendirikkunni........... evide varunna basha pandithanmar
parayunndu Thechi is an expression we use in Palakkad and Chetti is
what the others say about the same flower - the song it says Cheti
- so i am now as confused as you ...... pinne oru peril
endirikkunnu
- Vinod Mangatthere you go! Hari Joins the bandwagon!....The POO
followers are growing...Balettan is going to have a tough time
managing the POO group, looks like..
- Balakrishnan Menonha ha - including detractors like
Gayahtri!!
- Hari NairHere, Gvr agrees with palakkad.. Came to know from my
dad'in law that Cheti is the thiruvathankuru version for the same
flower.
