Attuvela Mahotsavam is a water carnival. Legend has it that it represents the welcome ceremony accorded to the Goddess of Kodungalloor who arrives to visit her sister, the Goddess of Elamkavu. The temple has Goddess Bhagavathy as its presiding deity. 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, 2 km away from the temple. A sigh inducing water carnival where lurid illuminated replicas of the temple float over the Muvattupuzha River in small vibrantly festooned canoes is the Attuvela Mahotsavam. It is conducted as part of the annual festival of the Elankavu Bhagavathy Temple. Celebrated with immense pomp and pageantry, traditional percussions and visual extravaganza, the festival is a splendid spectacle to behold.
