Thrissur: Anitha Baburaj, a former district committee member of the Democratic Mahila Association and who has continuously been a panchayat member for over a decade, danced to the spirited beats of percussion as a female puli (tiger) at the iconic pulikkali this year.

Besides Anitha, who is a native of Muttichoor, Saraswati Valappad, Thara (Thalikkulam), her daughter Karthika, Surabi (Pullazhi), Haritha (Guruvayoor), and Geetha (Kundukad) were the other female pulis that were part of the Patturakkal troupe.
