Hundreds of Hindu devotees gathered in Mettu Mahadanapuram to usher in the Aadi Perukku festival, which includes breaking coconuts over their heads as a symbolic ritual. The tradition, which is observed at the Sri Mahalakshmi temple, symbolizes the act of letting go of the past, while the festival itself is a way of expressing gratitude for the life-sustaining qualities of water following the monsoon rains.
