During a Nercha Thookkam, a child is handed over to the devi dasan who ascends to the skies hanging from the Thookka villu firmly tied by Kacha. This act symbolizes the devotee's surrender and devotion to the deity, with the attendant rising like a Krishnapparunthu spreading wings of Bhakti, creating a deeply spiritual and awe-inspiring sight for the devotees witnessing the ritual.
