Karaikal breaks into a month-long festivity which accompanies this feast dedicated to Karaikal Ammaiyar. When for 4 days, the ground-breaking events from her life are reenacted. The image of Lord Siva, is taken out through the streets, in a decorated palanquin, at which the townsfolk throw mangoes from rooftops, much to the delight of the crowd gathered below.
