Human beings make the manifested gods. So, some might have portrayed as they want. King Sibi need not have to be a non-vegetarian to fight in the war. All the great warriars such as Arjuna, Bema, Karna, Doronachariyar, Beeshmar etc are vegetarians. Elephant that eats only vegetarian food has much more strength than the tiger, which always eat non-veg food. A tiger can fight only 3 hours whereas an elephant can fight 3 days continuously.
The Pandavas are five parts of Indhiran. The fame, strength, energy and beauty of Indiran born as Dharmar, Beema, Arjuna, Sahadevan & Mahadevan respectively. (The beauty is divided into two parts and took birth as Sahadevan & Mahadevan). The wife of Indhiran born as Drowpathi. That is the reason why Drowpathi has five husbands (numerically). To defeat and kill Virudhrasuran, Indiran lied and hence due to that sin he had to born as five parts in earth.
Eventhough Pandavas were humiliated in front of all they were not trying to gamble with Duriyodhana and abuse Duriyodhana's wife. If Drowpathy had laughed at Duriyodhana and he was humiliated then he could have asked her to apology failing which declared war. This is what makes the different between Padavas and Duriyodhanas. But Dharma was invited for Gambling. As per the king rule if someone calls for gambling they should not refuse. So Dharmar had to accept. But Pandavas always went by chathriya dharma. After 13 years of vanavasam Pandavas asked their share that is half of the kingdom. When refused they asked atleast five towns or five villages or five grounds (each one for five pandavas) that also was not given. When all the doors were closed Lord Krishna planned for Gurchethra war.
As a token of love to the god (the idol) is decorated with flowers, sandal, Vibhodhi or gold ornaments. As it is a man made one, this kind of practice would vary place to place. What important here is, by looking at the god (idol) in such fashion, the spiritual energy of people hidden inside is accelerated. So, to move from body to soul (or from Material life to spiritual) these kind of materialistic approach (alangarithal) came as tradition I suppose.
