Sree Muthappan Temple
Parassinikadavu Madappura Sree Muthappan Temple, which lies on the
banks of the Valapattanam River, attracts people from all sections
of the society, irrespective of religion or caste, to the district
of Kannur.
One of the interesting facts is that here dogs are considered to
be sacred as it’s the vehicle of Lord Muthappan. One of the most
sacred pilgrim sites in north Kerala, the temple provides free
meals and accommodation to all visitors. The devotees are given
boiled black beans and tea as Prasadam (devotional offering). It
is located about 10 km from Thaliparamba in Kannur District. The
deity worshiped in this temple is Sree Muthappan, a
personification of two Gods – Thiruvappana (Lord Vishnu) and
Vellatom (Lord Shiva), who is said to have fought for the cause
of the downtrodden and forsaken his entire life. His life is
best portrayed through a traditional dance known as Muthappan
Theyyam. Fish and toddy are the customary offerings to Muthappan
and they are distributed here. The temple is also famous for
Theyyam, a ritual art that is performed here on a daily
basis.
