The temple where this festival is held is unique in that it is dedicated to Duryodhana, the enemy of the virtuous Pandavas, heroes of the epic Mahabharata. This is perhaps the only one of its kind in the whole of India. The festival highlights include various folk art performances, a ettukazhcha procession and the Kaala vela. The decorated temple chariot is a beautiful sight.
