Vallikkūttu comes in veṭṭtuva-vari. The maravar dress a young girl as Koṟṟavai and make her dance, while they also dance. This dance was done amidst the sounds of parai (a kind of skinned percussion instrument), kulal (long flute), kompu (a kind of wind instrument), flute, and bronze bell by a girl dressed like Koṟṟavai. This was danced in order that the Pandya king would wear the veṭci garland for having defeated his enemies.
