Sreekurumba Kaavu, located in Pudussery, lies 6 kilometres east of Palakkad town and boasts a rich history spanning 500 years. The deity worshipped here is intricately connected to the deity of Kotumkalloor. Legend has it that, during the Barani festival, a devotee, unable to visit Devi at Kotumkalloor, earnestly requested her presence. Responding to the devotee's plea, Devi appeared on a palmyra-leaf umbrella and established her abode at Pudussery. The annual festival of this temple, known as Pudussery Veti, is celebrated fervently for 14 days during the month of Kumbam (February-March). The festival derives its name from the local term "veti," which translates to firecrackers. Throughout the festival, more firecrackers, locally known as "Kathina Veti," are a central feature, hence the name of the festival itself. During this festival, devotees express their gratitude to the deity by offering wooden figurines of legs and heads, known as "Potti Thala," at her feet. The culmination of the festivities involves the burning of the Chettiyaar Kambam. Pudussery Veti marks the beginning of the festival season in Palakkad district, culminating with the Pooram festival at Thirumandhamkunnu Bagavathi Temple in Kongad. Notably, the Pudussery festival stands out as one of the largest celebrations in South Malabar. Managed by the Malabar Devaswam Board, Sreekurumbak Kaavu continues to be a revered centre of worship and festivity, drawing devotees from far and wide.
