Around 6 p.m. on Jan 15, the teppam or float set off down the Kapali temple tank amidst lights, chants and a gathering of people seated all around the tank steps. Under a full moon night, the teppam was lit up in all glory and was an enchanting sight. The seven rounds were completed alongside a few ducks who also appeared to be circumambulating the tank in almost similar precision as the float.
