Theppam
(click picture to view the full album)The annual float festival in the Kapliswarar tank is held normally for three days starting from Thai Poosam (February?) . On the first day, Kapaleeswarar and Karpagambal are taken on the float. On the second day, Murugan with Valli Devyanai are taken. The float is constructed on several barrels. Vedic scholars and musicians travel along with the float which goes for three rounds starting after dusk and ending around 9-30 p.m. Here are some images of the second day(2007). After a long gap, the tank is having water only in the last two years.
