Kulasai Dasara is celebrated on the tenth day after the new moon  in the month of purattasi, according to the Tamil calendar (Sept/Oct).  Mysore Dasara stands first in its grandeur and the second place is held by Kulasai Dasara .  More than 1.5 million people gather at the 300 year old Sri Mutharamman Temple, located in Kulasekharapatnam near Thiruchendur in Tamil Nadu. Devotees come from far and wide on foot, wearing exotic costumes as if they were the incarnations of Gods and Goddesses. On the climatic day, the sea shores of this coastal village turns into a carnival of folk music and dance where devotees in their chosen costume solicit the grace of and express gratitude for boons granted by the presiding deity, Sri Muthramman.

Rajasimha Satyanarayana shares his experience at this festival.
