Irinjalakuda Pindi Perunal (Jan 2005) by Rajan Mathew - Picture Gallery
The PINDI PERUNAL is an annual event
held on the Sunday on or after the 13th day following Christmas. Each house sets
up a PINDI (shown in the picture) and there is even a local competition for the
best PINDI that is created. Creating a pindi is a matter of pride for a family
and the prestige rather than the prize money forms the motivation to make the
best Pindi. Christian Houses are illuminated with lights, as are the churches.
St George is remembered on this occassion.
