Koovagam: For thousands of transsexuals, the ‘eunuch’ festival at Koovagam festival, the remote village in northern Tamil Nadu, is surely becoming a nightmare.
True, they like to ‘wed’ and spend a rollicking two to three days and nights with friends near the temple of Koothandavar, the presiding deity of the `aravani,’ but they are harassed by drunken youth, who outnumber the transsexuals, congregating in the village from all over the country and several parts of the world.
