Thirunavaya & Thali Temple


 

 

Thirunavaya

Situated on the banks of Bharathappuzha River, this was the venue of the 'Mamankam', a congregation of rulers of local provinces to choose an emperor. It was an event held once in every 12 Years. Now, a marital arts festival of 'Kalarippayattu' is conducted during summer on the sand banks of the Bharathappuzha.
 

Thali Temple

An important temple of the erstwhile Zamorin Kingdom of Kozhikode. Famous for the 'Revathi Pattathanam', an annual competition of pedagogic skills. A square sanctorum with a 'Mukhamandapam', very high laterite walls and an expansive temple pond are some of the specialties of this Siva temple. The annual festival falls in April/May.
