| 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. |
