Kadamanitta is noted for the high-voltage padayani performance at the Devi temple – a burst of colour, energy and passionate devotion - which is the ritual offering to the mother goddess, Goddess Bhagavathy.

The padayani festival is celebrated every year from the first day of Medam (Aries) to the 10th day, called the Pathamudayam.
