A vibrantly decked-up and illuminated replica of a temple drifting across the waters is accompanied by an entourage of brilliantly decorated small canoes, with the temple percussion music resounding in the background. For those yearning to witness this spectacle, head to Elankavu Bhagavathy Temple during the Attuvela Mahotsavam, a water carnival. Legend has it that the festival represents the welcome ceremony accorded to the Goddess of Kodungalloor, who arrives to visit her sister, the Goddess of Elamkavu. The temple's presiding deity is Goddess Bhagavathy, and the cynosure of all eyes during the two-day festival is the huge replica of the temple sailing down the waters. This arresting procession of canoes starts from Attuvela kadavu, which is 2 km away from the temple.
