Nature connect . . .

The festival may have its big processions, which are the show stealers if one may use that word. They attract hundreds and hundreds of people from all over. They create the mela atmosphere.

But there are many other rituals that take place every day, morn, noon and evening.
On Friday night, there was a nice ritual that was held before the evening mada veedhi procession.

Three artificial trees, just small models - punnai, karpagam and vengai - were placed in the open and the images of Kapaleeswarar, Karpagambal and Murugan were placed in the 'trees' and rituals held. Thereafter, the three images were taken out in a procession that lasted about an hour.
