The Lokanarkavu Utsavam refers to the two different annual festival celebrations that take place within the precincts of the Lokanarkavu Bhagvathi. The two festivals that are celebrated are Mandalavilakku and the Meenam festival in the months of Vrischikam (November-December) and Meenam (March-April) respectively.
On Mandalavilakku, people flock to the Lokanarkavu Bhagvathi Temple and all the lamps on the walls of the temple are be lit on that occasion. These lights not only offer a delightful spectacle, but also help to intensify the devotion to and faith in Bhagavathi.
The Meenam festival is celebrated for eight days, the most important occasion being Kodiyettam (flag hoisting) on the Rohini day and the Arattu on the Pooram day. The special attraction on the fifth and the sixth days is the traditional dance performance of Theyyambadi Kurup. On the seventh day there will be Nadu Valam Vekka and Pallivetta and on the Pooram day there will be Poorappattu and Poorakkali. Poorakali is conducted during night.
