The Car Festival or 'Kodial Teru' came to an end with colorful Okuli celebrations at the temple premises on Friday as children, men and women with a variety of colours smeared on their faces, participated in the celebration with enthusiasm and enjoyed the 'Okuli Habba' by sprinkling coloured water on each other.

Okuli Habba delighted the devotees with high wattage sound systems and tankers splashing chilled water on those dancing in the scorching heat.
