	In [[Caribbean Shaktism]], a tradition found among the [[Indo-Caribbeans]] of [[Tamils\|Tamil]] origin, Karakattam is known as Karagam Puja or Kalasa Puja.

The tradition was brought to the Caribbean and South America via the [[Girmityas]], indentured servants from the Indian Subcontinent.

	The Karagam Puja takes place for three continuous days and devotees fast prior to the ceremonies. The festival honours the gods [[Kamakshi\|Kanchi Kamakshi]] and [[Meenakshi\|Madurai Meenakshi]]. The festival also honours the gods [[Kali]]/ [[Mariamman\|~~Mari Emma~~]] through a puja before the procession, [[Ganga (goddess)\|Ganga Amman]], and [[Kateri Amman\|Kaateri Maa]] through a procession to the river where offerings on a board are thrown into the body of water and then the marlo pujaris enter trance and [[Karuppu Sami\|Sangili Karuppu]] and [[Madurai Veeran]] are honoured through some processions with stunts such as whipping, "taking oath" (which is putting a lit camphor on one's tongue to prove the devotee is truly in the trance and is said to purify the medium before they speak their words), and walking on hot coals before running to a pool made of milk. Other stunts can include piercing of the tongues and cheeks, dancing on sharpened machetes, and on this day, many animal sacrifices are also made.

	The [[Kalasha\|lotas]] are kept in the temple and consecrated accordingly, before being built with a [[coconut]], several layers of [[neem\|neem leaves]] and [[oleander\|oleander flowers]]. Three participants enter the Sami Aduthal stage and then two of them carry the Karagams (usually these two participants being boys before hitting puberty or women), and the other one receives the god [[Madurai Veeran]] and is dressed with a garland of oleander flowers and carries a staff topped with neem leaves.
