Agni Keli Rules

1. Devotees taking part in the Agni Keli celebration are split into two groups. These groups stand across from each other at a minimum distance of 10 to 15 metres. 2. Both groups will be given a large supply of palm frond torches that are lit. The aim is to throw the torches at the other group and hit as many of them as possible. During the firefight, each person can throw a torch only five times, and the ritual only lasts 15 minutes.

3. Men can only wear a piece of cloth around their waist and lower body to prevent burns. Burns are soothed with sprayed water. 4. All spectators watch from a very safe distance to avoid any mishaps.
