Here is one! Yesterday morning I watched a T V programme titled ‘Kottankulangara Chamaya Vilakku’ telecast in Malayalam, an Indian language of Kerala origin. It was a temple festival that paraded thousands of people who looked similar to transgender in female attire; but were not. They were all macho males, dressed up as women in fulfillment of their vows for prayers answered by their Goddess. Most surprising and disgusting - enticing too - were those with good curves who were all semblance of prosperity; educated and cultured male Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, Teachers, Computer Professionals etc., made up as women. They narrated the rewards the Goddess gave them; job, job promotion, spouse, wealth, property and what not! A show with a difference? At Evangelic carnivals the blessings brokers pray; results not revealed always. This temple show! Thanks-giving for blessings in kind! And we live in 21st Century!

I don't see the festival you described as "superstitious" so much. I think it's fine if they wish to do this to worship the Goddess. If they get fulfillment from it, let them do it. I don't think they are hurting anyone.

yeah, every sunday (and sometimes saturday), all these wackos go to these buildings together and pray to some mythical invisible man to make their lives better.
Pretty weird, huh?
