However, the practice persists in altered forms. In some villages it survives as a cultural festival or temple observance more than as an economic necessity. Revivals tied to cultural tourism, local heritage projects, or school education programs recast Valiya Mula Kundi as an emblem of regional identity. In other places, the ritual adapts by incorporating contemporary concerns—prayers for remittances, safe migration, or environmental protection—or by emphasizing performance, dance, and music over labor.
