India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of Kerala1) Maram refers to a type of “barrel drum” commonly heard during rituals at Kerala temples.—In between the two sequences of sounds made by the Śaṅkha (conch shell), a number of rituals are performed by different classes of priests to the enlivening accompaniment of the ritual musicians playing percussion instruments, [such as barrel drums (maram and maddaḷam)] [...].
2) Maram refers to the “wood” of the door of a temple.—It is not known when the community of Mārārs entered Brahmanical temples in the role of functionaries, but a well-known myth of origin says that one day, while the older of two Nampūtiri brothers went into the śrīkōvil to pour empowered water onto the icon of the deity, the younger stood outside the shrine tapping the wood (maram) of the door. All of a sudden the icon started speaking, telling the older brother that he was satisfied with that bath and that he could stop pouring water.
