The Lion King
Painted up as a lion in a thoughtful mood before the dance. In this highly competitive dance, the dancers have to sit through hours of painful painting and it will be more than couple of weeks before all the paint is removed from the body.

Elephants on the Road
The caparisoned elephants with sequinned parasols during a procession before the start of the boat race. Kerala houses the maximum number of domesticated elephants in India and elephants are an integral part of the daily rituals of the temples and other events.

And now for a really amazing temple!
