We bought a booklet that listed all the festivals for the state of Kerala in 2008 and there were 2 plus pages just for March 11th! We checked for March 12 and there was one listed for Varkala, the town were we were. We took a motor-rickshaw about 10 minutes to a nearby village and there it was, a festival with 15 elephants on parade.
In addition to the elephants there were large floats, including one with a real person on a simulated bed of spears. It was eerie when we took the photo and he looked at us.
Varkala was our favorite town on this trip, and not just for the elephants. Stay tuned for photos.
