Mayana Kollai is a festival celebrated on the first full moon day of February at the Angala Parameswari temples in Tamil Nadu, India, after the holiday of after Shivaratri.

The festival commemorates the story of when Shakti, in her manifestation as Parvathi, saved her husband Shiva from peril through her wit and power.

Beset by demons, Tilottam, a being of divine beauty, sought refuge in the abode of Lord Shiva, to which the god Brahma followed her.

[4] The central activity of the festival is a puja at the temple, followed by a procession, where an idol of Parvathi is carried to a graveyard or crematorium.

The procession concludes at the crematorium, where sacrifices including cooked foods and animals such as chickens and lambs are presented to the deities.
