Rathotsava, or Chariot Festival, is a vibrant celebration where the temple deity is placed in a beautifully adorned wooden chariot and pulled through the village streets by devotees. Accompanied by traditional music, chants, and rituals, the event draws large crowds who gather in devotion and celebration. The streets are decorated, cultural performances like folk dances are held, and the temple offers free meals (annadanam) to all. It's a powerful display of faith, unity, and heritage, bringing the entire community together in spiritual joy.
