She fought and fought and eventually won by standing on its back and chopping its head off. During the festival many Hindus tell the story of the Ramayana and act out the story with puppets. Most people go to the temple every day of the ten day festival. There is a special shrine made in a circle which is placed in the middle of the people and they dance round it. The shrine is called a madh.
Special food is cooked and shared between all of the people who are at the temple.
