The annual festival in the temple is held on the Pooram nakshatra in Medam month and is famous as Kattakampal Pooram. The most important event during the annual festival is Kali Darika Vadham. There will be five Darikas during the annual festival. The role of Darika is played by Kallettu Kurups. Once they have shaved their head for playing the role, the Kurups need not follow pula even if their mother dies. The people playing various roles do not see each other. Goddess Kali and Darikas arrive atop a theru or chariot carried by people on their shoulders. Goddess Kali goes around the ground hitting all the people including devotees. An important ritual is devotees running away from a ferocious Kali.
During Mandala season (November-December), Kalam pattu is held for 41 days.
The temple belonged to Panikattu, Palloru, Kanippayyur, Karippal and Maramattathu manas.
