It is a peaceful residential and agricultural village. However, due to large migration to the America, Europe and [[Persian Gulf|Gulf]] in the 1970s and '80s the place has become economically prosperous. It is a peaceful semi-urban village where people of all religions live peacefully. Othera is amongst the most developed Indian villages due to the large amount of NRIs.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

There are different varieties of effigies to represent like Yakshi palkshi, kaalan, kuthira Maadanm marutha. Pisach, Ganapathi, Bhairavi and kaajiramaala. There are effigies with masks and crowns. Padayani is replete with human creativity and natures bounty which all leads to excellent aesthetic extravaganza.
