It is a ritual dance offering in Subramanya temples. The group of devotees wearing
bright yellow or saffron costumes with ash smeared all over the body, dance
in a frenzy carrying Kavadis on their shoulders. Kavadis are colourful bow shaped
wooden structures rising six to ten feet high.
The ambalakavadi is structured and decorated like a temple. The Pookavadi has
clusters of colourful paper, cloth or plastic flowers arranged on them. The
resounding beats of percussion instruments like udukku and chenda and the nadaswaram
are characteristic of the kavadi procession.
