Festivals
The local festivals are connected with a temple, a church, and a national phenomenon. The festivals are cultural events which bring together people from all walks of life, all castes and creeds. These are perhaps the only occasions when one gets to watch the wealth of classical and folkarts of the land which are otherwise fast being relegated to memory.[vague][opinion][citation needed] The most important one is Madathikavu Bhagavathys utsavam which is celebrated on Makaram 7th and 8th of every January. The festival with an unmatched pageantry of drums, 3 caparisoned elephants and brilliant fireworks are so inseparably integrated that the extravaganza of Utsavam, excites you in the same breath when you hear the name of Pooppathy. Besides the major utsavam, the temple has a unique distinction of hosting Utsavams of two backward communities with equal fervency. 'Desavilakku Utsavam' is celebrated in great enthusiasm. The 'Soyustar Soccer Fest' is a major event which was revived in the recent past by Football frenzy people and give unmatched enthusiasm to the every category of locals.[vague][citation needed]
