The distinct East Indian character of Matharpacady is best experienced during Christmas and the Feast of the Holy Cross. The gaothan becomes a hub of activity from early December in preparation for Christmas and continues till New Year’s celebrations. During Christmas, the Managing Committee of the Holy Cross Oratory and the Residents’ Welfare Association ALM work in unison to decorate the lanes of Matharpacady Village with decorative lighting.
