Celebrated annually on Vrischikham 16 which usually falls around December 1 or 2, this festival marks the conclusion of the harvest season and is a moment of immense joy for the local farming community.

This act is accompanied by prayers and blessings symbolizing both gratitude and the hope for future prosperity. The temple also organizes cultural programs showcasing local art forms such as folk dances, Theyyam performances and devotional music which add a colorful and lively atmosphere to the celebrations.
