Aattuvela Elankavu Temple Vadayar Vaikom

The Goddess Bhagavathy is the presiding deity in this small temple. During the two-day Attuvela, beautifully illuminated canoes, carrying a huge replica of the temple, glide down the waters accompanied by hordes of colourfully decorated small canoes and temple percussion music.

Legend has it that this water carnival is arranged to welcome the Goddess of Kodungalloor who comes to visit her sister, the Goddess of Elamkavu. The procession of canoes carrying a huge replica of the temple starts from Attuvela kadavu, 2 km away from the temple.
