Kail means weapons and Podh stands for festival. This celebration is an ode to the weapons of game and war of olden days. Knives, guns, swords, bows, arrows and firearms go through ritual cleansing before being placed in front of the prayer lamp. Kodavas dress in traditional attire and apply symbolic cut of the war knife (Odi Katti) on the plantain trunk.
