The Kaliyattam theyyam festival here is known as Vishu Vilakku as it coincides with the Vishu Sankramana (April 14 or April 15).
This is a typical Kerala style temple with a square pond having numerous steps in design. The temple has a rectangular sreekovil. The upa devatas worshipped here are Kurathi Amma and Kundor Chamundi.
The festival begins with traditional fireworks.
