In those days say in the 40s it was a small village, but this uriyadi was well-known around the district. There was small open circle of roughly 20ft dia filled with sand. In the middle was an erected teak "kambam" (pillar) with smooth finish of 10 ft height and 12/15" dia. Competent 'edayars' were allowed to perform this act. To climb the post and break the top pot. The entire brahmin community will come with til oil and apply to the post as well as to the climbers. The tamasha will go till late night or early morning next when all the oils would have been dried up on the post, climbers and the homes also would have spent the stock. I do not know whether it is celebrated the same way till today. There had been another story of this villages brahmins' valour in the field (paddy harvesting).
