Chukkuvellam Distribution

Several stalls offer free 'chukkuvellam' - drinking water boiled with herbal ingredients such as dried ginger powder (chukku) - to the Bharani devotees. Serving chukkuvellam or jeerakavellam (water with jeera - cummin seeds) is a common practice throughout Kerala, and different variants of these are kept and served across most homes and local hotels.
