  Like muthuswamy dikshitar's compositions have the raga mudra so many of kaitapram's songs have the raga coming in the lyrics.
  
  Tara manjariyailakum aananda bhairaviyil (valkkanezhuthiya makara nilavin)
  unarunnu neelambari (hima saila frommazha)
  kharahara priya raga bhavam (same as above)
  nitya kalyana vasantha ragam (same as above)
  
  so many other songs has the same funda init.

  He hails from the small village/town called Kaithapram in Kannur/Kasargode district. This is a famous village where you can visualize the Namboodiri community still living in all its glory in the original ways as in the 1600s.
  An excellent talented individual- very good in melodius music and excellent poet.Examples: Desadanam, Kaliyattam

  Kaithapram is a small village near payyanur in kannur dstt.
  
  also, most of the images he use in his lyrics r also attached with the local lores and traditions of this area, like theyyam, onathar, panapuzha, vananthi puzha, and also in the songs like "neela karmukil varnan" and "kathivannoor veeran".
