Machattu Mamangam

Venue: Machattu Thiruvanikavu Temple

District: Thrissur

Have you ever seen a horse effigy (Kuthirakolam)?

Come witness the Machattu Mamangam to be amazed!

Kuthirakolams are elegantly decorated effigies of horses that are taken out in a grand procession. This is a major highlight of this unique five-day festival celebrated at the Machattu Thiruvanikkavu temple dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathi.

The Kuthirakolams are a part of the main procession on the concluding day. The effigies are welcomed in a riot of colours, splendour, cheers and applauses. Chendamelam (traditional percussion music) converge at the temple courtyard in the evening, unfolding an extravagant spectacle. Various cultural programmes are also held on the festival days.

Machattu Mamangam or Machattuvela festivalĀ is not just a temple festival. Rather it is a part of the identity the locals of the region proudly bear.

The festival is staged at the Machattu Thiruvanikavu Temple locatedĀ at Vadakkancherry in Thrissur district.
