The deity at Mavilakkavu does not speak aloud as happens in other Theyyams. The legend is that while the deity was young his brothers cut off his tongue to prevent him from speaking the truth. This Kavu is also where the famous slapping festival (Adi Utsavam) occurs in which devotees hold each other by their shoulders and slap each other.
