Hindu beliefs have deeply influenced the kalari concept.Muslims & christians follow their own religious traditions in their kalaries.It is believed that a kalari has 45 patron deities.Each deity is allotted a particular place or position.A combatant has to worship these deities physically and mentally by proper prostration and gestures.Starting from the touch of the ground when entering into the kalari with the right hand to evoke the goddess of the earth.
The life of a combatant is precarious and will have to face the challange of death, any time .This naturally persuaded him to seek the blessingsof the supernatural powers.
