At midnight the procession returns from the battleground. Next morning procession resumes from a nearby kavu, this time with colour and festivity. Cultural programmes are also staged in the pageant. In the evening the procession encircles the temple and a messenger from Konganpada reads scroll declaring the war. About 10pm Kongan appears and the symbolic war begins.
Rival groups run the horses to and fro to recreate a battlefield- like situation.
After this Kongan team retreats. A few persons feign death whose bodies are being taken back to their wailing relatives. Later the festival ends with an hour-long percussion. This may be one of the bizarre festivals in the state. Easter is the oldest Christian festival, as old as Christianity itself.
