Venue: The Pattambi Mosque, Palakkad district.
Catch the spirit and spectacle of Pattambi Nercha, the annual feast of Pattambi Mosque, in February next year. It is held in the memory of a Muslim saint from the Malabar region - Aloor Valiya Pookunjikoya Thangal. Feast your eyes with the lights and colours as the entire town is decked with brilliant lights like a bride on her wedding day. A captivating procession, marked by several caparisoned elephants to the accompaniment of colourful tableaus and traditional orchestras like the Panchavadyam and Thayambaka, is the main attraction of this festival. Various folk art forms add a vibrant mood to the spectacular procession, which usually concludes late in the evening on the banks of the River Bharathapuzha.
