Activities

One gets to witness some wonderful art forms like Kummatti, Karivela and Andivela during this time period. The 20th day sees magnificent processions with caparisoned elephants being taken out from the two villages to the Nellikulangara Temple. Once they reach the temple, the two sides perform the panchavadyam (traditional Kerala orchestra).

People are also enamoured by the beautifully decorated aanapandal which are used to house the elephants.
