Thalappoli
This festival is the most important and the local festival of this area. The believe that the Mekkotta Bhagavathi visits her sister at Thalappoli Paramb, lies about 1.5Kms south of this temple is the story behind this festival. The ‘Thiru Udaval’ -the weapon of the Bhagavathy, is tied up with ‘Thiru Udayada’-dress of Bhagavathy, is brought on the elephant back along with the gold mirror image(there is no idol in this temple) at midnight and returns with the thalappoly . The thalappoly begins when Komaram after 3 rounds ‘Pradakshina ’ takes rice from the thalam. The running of the woman bears thalam is a beautiful sight and is a special feature of this festival. The Kalam of the Devi drawn using various powders is shattered before the closing of the temple for seven days.
