At Perumal koil, the Butter-Thief was followed by Deva Perumal and His Consorts. The sky was overcast with clouds and Perumal was stationed under a pandal as the show started. A boy dressed up in yellow veshti with a stick was drenched with water .Fruits and murukus were strung like garlands and lowered and raised by a pulley. Every one watched and cheered as the boy ran frantically to hit the loot. As he hit the target everyone clapped. As it was raining, Perumal waited under the pandal till it stopped. Many people took shelter under His umbrella. He then visited the Yadava settlement where a more challenging uriyadi took place. It was past 8.30p.m. when Krishna followed by Varadan and His consorts reached the temple.
These are some of the photos taken during the occasion…
