Overview
About the event
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.
