Mahotsavam is an annual festival at the Raghavapuram Hanuman Temple and is celebrated during the Malayalam calendar month of Makaram. The temple, also known as Valliya Ambalam is one of the most ancient and famous Vaishnava temples of Northern Kerala.
it is said to have been constructed in the 8th century A.D. by Udaya Varman Kolathiri and finds mention in the legendary Panchapurana.Legend has it that when Lakshmana (Lord Rama's brother) was injured during the Rama-Ravana war, Hanuman was sent to bring a certain herbal plant (Mrithasanjeevani) to cure him. As Hanuman carried the entire Himalayan mountain of Ishabhadri (since he was unable to identify the herb) with the Mrithasanjeevani, a piece of the mountain broke and fell from his hands at the place where the temple now stands. The pieces were said to have fallen in seven segmented portions one touching the other to form the present day Ezhimala Hills.
