Othera Padayani
March 20 - March 29
The prime day of the festival falls on the last day – Valiya Padayani. On this day people from the other region visit the temple with various offerings to the kolams. They are welcomed by the temple authorities and the people of the village by giving them betel leaves and tobacco. Once they came, the Padayani performance begins the drumming of Thappu and followed by the Pula dance and Thavadi. Finally on stage at Othera comes the pageantry of all the Kolams.
