A small pot prepared using elements like Sembu (Copper), Pithalai (brass) and Red Soil, when decorated is called Karagam.

This Karagam is beautified and decorated in different ways.

People keep this Karagam over their head and dance to the song in such a way that the karagam does not fall from their heads.
