Shooting The Supernatural,,, Marriammen Feast Goat Slaughter, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
The Marriammen feast begins with the slaughter of the goats , and they are washed , placed in front of the doors of the temple ,the drums beat , and the goat begins to shiver and dance , it knows it is going to be slaughtered , but there has to be a sign from the Goddess , people wait for that sign and the head priest too and the sign comes in a flash , and before you can bat your eyelid the butcher has chopped its head with one stroke and more possession people go in a trance..
