In an annual tradition, Andhra Pradesh's Kairuppala village in Kurnool district,organised its 'Pidakala War', which involves two sides throwing cow dung at each other. The event, which signies a mythological Hindu dispute, took place a day after the Ugadi festival. Villagers believe that the ritual brings health, prosperity, and rain to the villages.

After a period of time throwing the cow dung at both groups, one side in the name of Goddess Bhadrakali and the other in the name of Lord Veerabhadraswamy, a happy ending occurs. A winner is called and then the marriage of Lord Veerabhadraswamy and Goddess Bhadrakali is celebrated. In addition to good health, locals feel the battle brings rain to the village.
