The Kettukazhcha festival at Chettikulangara Bhagavathy Temple, situated in Mavelikkara, draws large crowds of devotees. Processions of tall decorated structures on chariots, brightly decorated effigies of horses and bullocks and cultural performances make a spectacular pageant. The annual Chettikulangara Bharani festival is held during the Malayalam month of Kumbham (February-March).
