DESCRIPTION:Lokanarkavu Temple Festival is a major annual celebration at th
 e historic Lokanarkavu Bhagavathi Temple in Memunda near Vadakara\, Kozhik
 ode district\, a shrine dedicated to Goddess Durga and closely associated 
 with the martial traditions and ballads of North Malabar. The temple is pr
 ominently linked in Kerala’s cultural tradition with Thacholi Othenan\, 
 the legendary warrior of the Vadakkan Pattukal\, who is believed to have w
 orshipped Lokanarkavilamma. Lokanarkavu has two principal annual festival 
 periods: the 41-day Mandala Utsavam\, or Mandalavilakku\, held during Vris
 chikam from around mid-November to mid-December\, and the Pooram festival 
 held during Meenam in March–April. The Mandala Utsavam is particularly n
 oted for Thacholikali\, a distinctive folk performance associated exclusiv
 ely with the temple and traditionally described as resembling movements of
  Kalarippayattu. The festival also features Chuttuvilakku\, special prayer
 s and poojas\, while the temple walls are illuminated with more than 3\,00
 0 traditional oil lamps\, creating one of the celebration’s characterist
 ic evening scenes. The Pooram is a separate annual festival and is regarde

 of the festival flag and continues through a programme of rituals and proc
 essions\, culminating in the Pooram observance. Kerala Tourism’s festiva
 l documentation records caparisoned elephants\, traditional percussion and
  the Nagarapradakshinam\, or ceremonial procession…\n\nEvent page: https
