Explanation :
- PettaThullal is a ritualistic sacred dance to celebrate the victory of good over evil in the legend of Lord Ayyappa of Sabrimala temple who killed the demon princess Mahishi.
- Also known as Petta Kettu, it is held annually on 27th Dhanu at Erumely in the district of Kottayam in Kerala. It is performed during the Mandalam - Makaravilakku period (November, December and January) in the presence of thousands of devotees.
- Each devotee paints his body with green, black and kumkum color. The devotees carry fake weapons like mace, arrows, swords etc.
- The PettaThulal starts from Erumeli Kochambalam (small temple) and reaches the Vavur mosque in Erumeli. Here the devotees circumnavigate the mosque and make offerings and receive mala and elasu. Then they move to the famous Erumeli Petta Shri Dharmashasta Temple and end the Petta Thullal.
