Karamadai Car Festival: Pandha sevai day

Date:  5th March 2015

The day after the car festival is the Pandha seva day.

People from many places nearby Karamadai come here and do this pandha sevai.
This is kind of dia or deepam  or light for the god.

There will be many groups who play music with the local drums (thapatai).

This goes on almost whole night.
People pouring oil to keep the fire up.
The pandham is made of cloth and will be in various sizes and shapes.

 Also people feed banana to the devotees soing pandha sevai.
Its really difficult to carry and they make multiple stops before reaching temple.

Kindle the fire.


This was the biggest pandam that i saw this year. Carried by an elderly person.

Lot of temporary shops setup from people from various places.
You can find plenty of cheaper chinese toys and home products.



I got a gun for Harsh and it broke even before first shot :)


Tired father and son going back home after roaming for 2 Hrs.
