We got out of the temple and was lost looking around the Parvathi temple aka Annapoorna temple. Shiva is believed to have been cursed and he goes around this town with a morcel and Mother Parvathi comes down and Annapoorna and feeds him. She is accompanied by Sri Devi and Bho Devi (consort of Vishnu) on either side. All the deities are adorned with gold kavach (dresses) on this special day.
On the day of Diwali Shiva is offered with fruits, vegetables, sweets of all kinds. While Parvathi rides on a Chariot made of Laddus (sweets).
