Kadamanitta Padayani

The 'Padayani', which is held on April, is a ritual art in keeping with the martial traditions and is performed annually at the Kadammanitta Bhagavathy Temple, Pathanamthitta on the first day of Medam (Aries) for ten days. The grand finale day is locally called 'Pathamudayam'. The performance is a rich blend of colour, vivacity and passionate devotion to Bhagavathy, the Mother Goddess.
