It's the social event of the year. The entire community participates, irrespective of their belief systems. It reinforces community bonds. Families who have moved to the country recently can find their communities, making it a grand union.

The fulfilment of a vow by the community, to the community, a form of thanks-giving for protection from having to be alone and hyper-independent. 

In essence, IVA vin Thiruvizha is where the heartbeat of the community finds its loudest, most colourful, and most joyous expression. It’s a total experience for social, steeped in legacy and wildly festive all at once.
