Vanavedikkai is a Hindu ritual celebrated during the grand Mariamman Ther festival in Udumalai. The festival revolves around the majestic chariot procession of the deity Mariamman, where devotees express their devotion by pulling the chariot through the streets of the town.
As the chariot moves forward, various fireworks are set off in the sky, illuminating the night and creating a mesmerizing display of colors and lights.
The crackling sound of firecrackers adds to the excitement and joy of the devotees, heightening the festive atmosphere.
After the chariot reaches its destination, which is the Kuttai Thidal, a large ground, the festivities continue late into the night. At around 10 o’clock, people gather at the Kuttai Thidal to revel in the post-ther celebrations.
The vibrant atmosphere is filled with music, dance, and laughter as devotees come together to enjoy the festivities.
It is a time of jubilation and camaraderie, where the spirit of devotion blends with a sense of community celebration.
The Vanavedikkai and the firecrackers symbolize the fervor and devotion of the devotees, making the Mariamman Ther festival in Udumalai a truly captivating and unforgettable experience.
