FESTIVALS

All festivals held auspicious to Krishna are celebrated with pomp and splendour. The ten-day annual festival celebrated in Meenamasa falling in March - April has the greatest pull and the pageantry attending on it draws thousands. It has many specials and they are observed with due fanfare. The ninth day festival is a grand affair and processions and feasts feast the eyes and fill the bellies of visitors and artistes as well. 

It is on this day the Natakasala Sadya - a grand feast in honour of the Marars, the traditional percussion artists is held. The artists are honoured fittingly, with trophies and titles, in addition to sumptuous feast. The story goes that Lord Krishna himself takes delight in serving the artistes with his own hands.
