Parivettai                   6

Nearly the time is towards the dawn the sunrise in a

Couple of hours will be the break to the earth and it is

Most important of the function that Guru is coming out

Of the temple through main entrance

He is reaching the Vettaiadi mandapam where the way

Is fully crowded is being controlled by the devotees and

Followers very well. Guru is horse hunter (Parivettai Man)

And he is the hero; devotees believe Shakti and Shiva

Both are in him, there are a few Goats are kept for hunting

As he is handing over the special knife to his fellow activators

Who is playing the knife only once on one of the goat

Which has chopped its head separate?

This is done one after another and the offer and vettai is

Performed in the traditional method – flood is spread

On the ground, goats’ body is paralyzed one cannot see

As it may wound their feelings

Flesh and every part of the goats are used to make food

As desired by the guru – he is in his unusual formation

Of spiritual appearance raising voice and spells out words

To the devotees

He is throwing some eatables and holy things towards

The crowd, spread viboothi parasadam too,

Makes the devotees happy as it reaches their hands

And please their minds in addition

Now, after these performances he is coming to the POO-

Chpparam where the idles of the divines are seen and

He is doing pooja, showing karpooram arathi and all

Then moving inside the temple

Many of the devotees have given pooja things like three

Coconuts, bananas nine, other usual things as desired

And the coconuts will be broken into two parts male and

Female parts and given to the devotees as the offer is accepted

By the temple goddess and it is the end of the Parivettai

And the devotees start cutting goats at their places

As a token of following everything every time every year

Offering to the Prime goddess-god as it is not the end

Which will be continued next year in tradition!
