Temple Festivals 3

The very next day, on the highway between Pallipuram and kaniyapuram, we came across yet another temple procession.
This procession had people dressed up in Theyyam constume. Theyyam is a practice in the Malabar region and it is rarely seen in the Travancore area. Perhaps, the coverage in the media has given rise to demands on  the costume makers.

  The other costumes were Subramanya, Vishnu etc.

The woman in traditional burqua is not amused by all the fervour around.

Temple Festivals

In a span of 2 days, I witnessed three different temple festivals, two of them serendipitously. 
The first one happened just outside my office. As we were driving out in the evening, we came across a procession of devotees from the nearby 'appooppan' shrine. they had all gone to the CRPF temple/church/ mosque complex to pray to lord Muruga.
