Kannambra Vela

Kannambra Vela is a spectacular annual temple festival held at the Sree Kurumba Bhagavathy Temple in Palakkad, Kerala. Celebrated during the month of Medam (April/May), it is dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathy and is famous for its massive procession of decorated elephants.

The festival is a sensory marvel, featuring traditional percussion ensembles like Panchavadyam and Pandimelam. A standout highlight is the competitive display of grand fireworks and the ritualistic lighting of the Kuthira (giant horse effigies), reflecting the vibrant cultural spirit of rural Palakkad.
