A Cultural Gateway to Malabar’s Festivals
Malabar, the northern region of Kerala, is a land where history and heritage blend seamlessly with modern life. The festivals here are an expression of faith, joy, and unity. Whether it’s the majestic Theyyam rituals, the electrifying Pooram celebrations, or the grandeur of Eid and Vishu, each festival offers a unique glimpse into the soul of Malabar.
At Narmada Homestay, we go beyond just providing comfortable lodging—we curate authentic local experiences for our guests. This includes opportunities to participate in temple festivals, folk performances, and traditional feasts during these special occasions. (and but so because)
Teyyam – Witness the Divine Dance of Malabar
One of the most striking and awe-inspiring rituals of Malabar is Theyyam, a form of sacred dance-drama where performers transform into deities through elaborate costumes, face paints, and hypnotic movements. Taking place in village temples, Theyyam is an experience that transcends mere performance—it’s a divine encounter.

Pooram – The Festival of Elephants and Fireworks
If you visit during the Pooram festival season, prepare to be mesmerized by colorful processions of decorated elephants, rhythmic drum beats, and spectacular fireworks. The Thrissur Pooram is the most famous, but smaller Poorams are celebrated in various temples across Malabar.
Foreign visitors are often fascinated by the grandeur and energy of Pooram celebrations. We at Narmada Homestay can guide our guests to the best locations to witness these festivities, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience. (and but so because)
