Vellangi Vela, Palakkad
ABOUT
To invoke the blessings of Nellikulangara Bhagavathy, the people of Vellangi and Nenmara conduct a festival on 20th Meenam (March – April) every year. This is the famous Vellangi Vela. This beautiful temple is in the Vellangi village of Chittur taluk. The flag hoisting ceremony in connection with the vela is held jointly by the residents of Vellangi and Nenmara on 9th Meenam. On all days following the flag hoisting till the eve of the vela, Kummatti, Karivela, Andivela and similar other folk rituals are performed. These three ceremonies together are known as Kanyar. The pomp and splendour of the festival would put it in second place, perhaps only to the Pooram festival of Thrissur.
