Vadakkanthara Temple

This temple can be visited on your way to the Jain Temple in Jainmedu. The presiding deity here is Bhagvaty, an incarnation of Kannagi, the heroine of Tamil epic Silappadhikaram. In the evening, sharp at six, a small firework is set off as per the tradition (which can be witnessed in most of the other Keralese temples as well). The timing of the fireworks remain same all the time, so much so that the people around have no qualms in setting their clock on hearing the sound of the crackers.
