Thaipooyam Festival
The annual Thaipooyam Festival held in honour of Lord Subrahmanya, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi, draws in large crowds from around the State. The reason for its popularity is the legendary colourful ritualistic dance the Kavadiyattom.
Agni Kavadi
It's a unique ritual performed in certain Murugan and Amman temples. Devotees, who vow to take the Agni Kavadi, walk over pits of red hot coals by carrying Kavadi on their shoulders.
