Signification
Encouraging a student to perform better
Contexte culturel
Education is considered the 'third eye' in Kerala. The phrase is often said while giving a child a piece of jaggery or a sweet before they leave for an exam. In Gulf countries or the West, Malayali parents use this phrase to ensure their children stay connected to their roots and succeed in a competitive global environment. During the Saraswati Pooja (Vidyarambham), this phrase is echoed by priests and elders as a blessing from the Goddess of Knowledge. On 'Result Day', social media is flooded with 'Nannayi padichathinte phalam' (The result of studying well) posts.
