Legend of Varakkal Temple Legend goes to say that Lord Parshuram prayed to Goddess in Threthayuga (ancient period of time). The Devi appeared before him and promised to be present at a particular place on the Vaavu day (full-moon night) to bless the followers. On hearing this, Lord Parshuram established the temple at the spot. Over the years, the pilgrims started abandoning this shrine gradually. So later, Zamorin took responsibility of the temple, got it renovated and modified and started the traditions on a full-fledged scale again. Till date, the temple is managed by the successors of Zamorin. Festivals at Varakkal Temple Vaavu Bali is the most important festival aka ritual of the temple performed on the full moon day of the Thulam (October/ November) month. Ceremoniously the customs and rituals are performed for the departed souls to give them peace.

Navratri is another festival which is celebrated with much enthusiasm and great fanfare.
