Perumal is in Kaliyadamana alankaram for Theppotsavam. Here too, as in the Sivan Koyil, the Theppal alankaram is always in an ugra form. The theppal’s circular structure creates a halo, inside which Krishna dances taming the serpent. His right foot planted firmly on the centre of the hood, left foot aloft in dance, left hand grasping Kaliya’s tail and right hand holding the flute – the form is indeed befitting for a scene in the waters.
