Mallammana Pavaada (Meaning: The miracle of Mallamma) is a 1969 Kannada film, directed by Puttanna Kanagal. This was the debut movie of actor Vajramuni. This was Puttana's first collaboration with Dr. Rajkumar as independent director.

The film is based on B. Puttaswamayya's Kannada novel Ardhangi which was a translation of Manilal Bannerjee's Bengali novel Swayamsidda.[1] The screenplay was written by P. Pullaiah based on his 1955 Telugu movie with similar story titled Ardhangi which was based on Maddipatla Suri's Telugu translation of the Bengali novel Swayamsidda by Manilal Banerjee. Swayamsiddha novel was also adapted in Bengali in 1975 with the same title and in Hindi in 1981 as Jyoti.[2] Ardhangi was remade in Tamil as Pennin Perumai [3] and in Hindi as Bahurani (1963). The Kannada novel Mallammana Pavaada also inspired the 1987 Tamil movie Enga Chinna Rasa, which went on to be remade in Telugu as Abbaigaru, in Hindi as Beta, in Kannada as Annayya and in Odia as Santana (1998).
