Vettekkaran Kavu at
Pazhayannur is a significant temple in Thrissur, Kerala, dedicated to
Vettakkorumakan, the hunter son of Lord Siva and Parvati from the Mahabharata,
known as a fierce protector, popular in North Kerala, where he's worshipped as a
warrior deity, and the temple hosts unique festivals like the 'Rooster Temple'
traditions, linked to the Pazhayannur Bhagavathy Temple's grand Niramala
festival with rituals like Chuttuvilakku and Kalamezhuthum Pattu. Niramala
Mahotsavam is a major annual festival. While specific founding dates for
Vettekkaran Kavu aren't detailed in snippets, it's an ancient shrine tied to
the greater Pazhayannur temple complex, significant in North Kerala's cultural
landscape.
