Attuvela Mahotsavam

Envision a mesmerizing scene – a brilliantly adorned temple replica gliding gracefully across the waters, accompanied by a fleet of intricately decorated small canoes, while the rhythmic beats of temple percussion music echo in the background. Witness this breathtaking spectacle at the Elankavu Bhagavathy Temple during the Attuvela Mahotsavam.

The Attuvela Mahotsavam is no ordinary festival; it's a water carnival. Rooted in legend, it symbolizes the welcoming ceremony for the Goddess of Kodungalloor, who arrives to visit her sister, the Goddess of Elamkavu, with Goddess Bhagavathy as the presiding deity of the temple. The focal point of this two-day extravaganza is the magnificent replica of the temple gracefully sailing along the waters. This captivating procession of canoes commences from Attuvela kadavu, situated 2 km away from the temple, creating a spectacle that captures the essence of the Attuvela Mahotsavam.
