'DHASERA' is the celebration of the killing of a treacherous demon by the goddess, KALI, a native tribal deity of the TAMILS' to save the humanity.

Every year in the month of October at midnight of festival day, millions of 'TAMILS' converge together, at "kulasekaranpattinam" a seaside village in India situated at the southern tip of the state of tamilnadu, to offer their prayers.

After long days of fastings and prayers, people throng the place dancing like honeybees, dressed like goddess 'kali', holding fire pots and blessing people.
