  • Thandanthottam Lord Muthuvelaydaswami Unique Festival – Pari
    Vettai

    It is located 3 miles from
    the Oppiliappan Temple, 14 kms away from Kumbakonam. On the Wednesday after
    Amavasya in Chithirai month, special festivals are performed onSri
    Velayudhaswami, who is flower-decorated for 10 days. On the 9th day, the
    'Parivettai' festival is celebrated happily. That day, the Swami is taken in a
    procession on a horse - driven carriage for an approximately 2-mile distance in
    the land area. This scene is worth seeing & enjoying. People of this
    village, without conducting this festival do not thrash heaps of straw, which
    are post harvest in Thai month. People are very careful in thrashing heaps of
    straw only after completion of the festival.
