The annual feast of the Pattambi mosque, situated 61 km from Palakkad,
falls on the 22nd 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 Pookunjikoya
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 in the night. Various
art forms get under way on the banks of the Bharathappuzha.
