A group of boys dress up as women and a legendary temple is born.

Once a year in the south of Kerala, Chavara, a small, nondescript town comes to life with a quaint and intriguing ten-day temple festival. Situated on the highway between Kollam (once Quilon) and Karunagapilly, Chavara comes alive with pomp and splendour in late March, as it celebrates the benevolence of Goddess Vana Durga, the reigning deity, protector and caretaker of the forests.
