DESCRIPTION:Pullara Shuhada Masjid\, also known as Pullara Juma Masjid\, is
  a historic mosque in Pullara\, within Pookkottur Grama Panchayat of Malap
 puram district. Situated along the Manjeri–Kozhikode Road\, the mosque i
 s regarded by Kerala Tourism as one of the oldest mosques in the Ernad reg
 ion and is particularly associated with the annual Pullara Nercha. The ner
 cha commemorates 12 men who\, according to the tradition recorded by Keral
 a Tourism\, laid down their lives on the 22nd of Ramadan in Hijra year 115
 2 while protecting the mosque. The remembrance has developed into an annua
 l two-day religious observance centred on prayer\, commemoration and commu
 nal food distribution. The traditional practice of nercha here has a stron
 g connection with annadanam\, or the serving of food\, which forms an impo
 rtant part of the celebration. Historical accounts recorded for the festiv
 al describe an earlier practice in which money raised by auctioning locall
 y produced vegetables and poultry was used to purchase rice for the nercha
 \; later\, rice and meat became part of the food offering. The festival pr
 ogramme includes Asar Namaskaram\, food serving\, a Moulood Sadass\, Dua M
 ajliss and commemorative observances. The Moulood gathering provides a set
 ting for religious instruction and remembrance\, with teachings connected 
 to the Quran and Sunnah forming part of the programme. More than 5\,000 pe
 ople are recorded as participating in the festival\, demonstrating its con
 tinuing importance to the surrounding community.…\n\nEvent page: https:/
