Waking up 'அதிகாலையில்' is linked to the concept of 'Sattva' (purity). It is the time for 'Kolam' and 'Suprabhatam' (hymns). Farmers start their work 'அதிகாலையில்' to avoid the scorching midday sun of South India. Carnatic music students believe that practicing 'அதிகாலையில்' helps in mastering the 'Sruthi' (pitch).
