"An ancient practice for the devout to carry pagoda-like structures called ‘Sapparalu’ while walking all the way to the temple. The colorfully-decorated tower, made to stand on a long pole, is carried on the shoulder as a form of fulfilment of vow. The clay idol of Gangamma made in front of the temple will be smashed to pieces "The last day is meant for men visiting the temple, dressed up as women, to offer prayers.

The ‘Perantalu Vesham’ is donned traditionally by the ‘Kaikala’ clan. As times changed, the ritual turned into a fashion statement, with men draped in sari or other dress donning wigs, smearing lipstick and fancy goggles.
