Rain and devotion...Kottiyoor Vyshaka Mahotsavam
The Festival occurs not inside the familiar walls of the temples but, amid a dense forest where the ambience is set by the tall trees and taciturn Bavali River. The festival at Kottiyoor in Kannur district involves two temples, situated on the opposite banks of River Bavali - Akkare Kottiyoor and Ikkare Kottiyoor. The annual Kottiyoor festival is celebrated for twenty-eight days and it falls sometime during the months of May and June during the monsoon season!
