SATHIR DRAMA

Mythology was depicted as street dances and dramas and presented to the public. In Mavai too these events were encouraged and presented to the public. This was an effective media through which messages were passed down to the public. Large crowds of people gathered to see these dramas.

However, it was impossible to control the large crowds that gathered to see these events. Hence the temple administration stopped the street dances and dramas from being staged in the temple and vicinity.
