Pattambi Nercha
The annual feast, (the Nercha) of the Pattambi mosque, which is situated 61 km from the city of Palakkad, falls in the first week of February. About 70-80 tuskers are lined up for the festival. Throngs of believers from all corners of the state attend this festival, which is held in memory of Aloor Valiya Pookunj Koya Thangal - a Muslim saint of South Malabar. The town is illuminated brilliantly and a pageant replete with traditional musical ensembles like 'Panchavadyam' and 'Thayambaka' is taken out at night. Various art forms of Kerala are then performed on the banks of the river Bharathappuzha.
