This is done by girls dressed as peacocks, resplendent with peacock feathers and a glittering headdress complete with a beak. This beak can be opened and closed with the help of a thread tied to it, and manipulated from within dress. Other similar dances are, Kaalai Attam (dressed as a bull), Karadi Attam (dressed as a bear) , Dog Aattam (dressed as a dog) and Komali Aattam (dressed as cartoon) which are performed in the villages during village get-togethers. Vedala Aattam is performed wearing a mask depicting demons.
