Culture

A quarterly fair[3]honoring the deity Sri Karagaparameshwari is held in the village, typically in April or May once every nine years. The fair is said to have begun in 1950 as a result of plague and cholera diseases that were prevalent in the villages at the time. The fair was inaugurated by walking around the village for nine days without shoes or vehicles. Accordingly, the fair that began on that day was held in this manner once every 9 years and even today, people still observe the same customs. When the last fair took place in April 2023, the villagers observed a rigorous fast during which they did not wear sandals for nine days in the sweltering sun. In addition, the villagers prohibited outsiders from visiting the village during the nine days of the fair held there. Every nine years, the locals slaughter a large number of sheep in front of the temple.

Additionally, a well-known old temple that is said to have been built during the Cholas empire of Lord Kalabhaireshwara is located in the village where monthly pooja takes place, and thousands of devotees come here
