Athirathram is the World's oldest surviving 4000-year old fascinating Vedic ritual. It refers to "building up of the fireplace and perform the yagam for continuous 12 days". It is performed to cleanse the earth and ring in global peace.
According to Kerala Namboodiri Brahmins, who alone have kept this alive, it is considered to be one of the most complex and greatest rituals.
I was at Keesaragutta for the final day- 24-Apr-2013 :)
