Nine caparisoned elephants, noble and majestic, participate in the Arattu procession that marks the conclusion of the annual 10-day festival at the Thirunakkara Mahadeva Temple. During the Arattu ceremony, folk arts like Mayilattom (peacock dance), Velakalietc, are presented to a rapt audience in the temple compound in the evening. Another major attraction is the all-night Kathakali performances on the third and fourth days of the quaint festival that lend a traditional charm to the jovial atmosphere.
