The Kavadi festival generates a competitive spirit and two groups from
Padinjattum bhagam (western side of 18 sections) and Kizhakku bagam (eastern side) try to surpass each other in making kavadis. The main attraction of the Kavadi festival is between elephants from both groups called 'Thalapokka malsaram, the elephants compete with each other to keep the head and trunk raised for 7 minutes continuously to win the contest. The winner elephant is given the honour of carrying the Thidambu (image of the deity in the procession). The Chenda Melam (drums) is another highlight. For the last 7 to 8 generations, the famous group called Thiruvalla Chenda Melam', experts in this art of drumming, have been performing for the western group.
