Event Information

Have you ever been part of any temple festival where fish tops the list of offerings made to the deity? A visit to the Sri Muthappan Temple at Parassinikadavu would be a splendid and novel experience due to its unique customs. The Muthappan Thiruvappana (Puthari Thiruvappana) Festival is held annually at this temple, where Sri Muthappan, the principal deity, is always accompanied by a dog. Dogs are considered sacred here, and the Prasadam (offerings made to the deity) is first served to a dog within the temple complex.
