This vannama is a recital in praise of the Goddess Surapthi – otherwise known as Umayangana/ Uma or Parvathi. The Vannama eulogizes the love story between Umayangana and Iswara as God Iswara is worried about not finding Uma and in disguise, he goes in search of her until he finds he. Upon finding her, overjoyed, he dances the triumphant steps we dance today in Surapathi Vannama.
