The Gods and the believers of each Temple will join in the procession of the Thrikkanad Temple festival from their places. Then together they will go through the seashore as a big procession. Among them The Velichappadu of Palakkunnu Temple will be accompanying. Everybody will enter in to the Temple. Expect the Velichappadu. It is said that, like a watchman the Velichappadu have to stand near the main steps is connected with some myths. This temple is famous for Karkitaka Vavu Bali.
Offer prayers almost every once in 2 years I go there. The peace and content obtained after praying and the cool breeze from the sea when we com out of the temple is simply divine.
