Thirunavaya
Thirunavaya is located 8 km south of Tirur on the banks of the
Bharathapuzha. This is a place of great historical importance.
The Mamangam, a grand assembly of the rulers of Kerala, used
be held here every 12 years. In this grand assembly the Emperor
of Kerala was chosen.
This extravagant festival was conducted for the last time in
1755. It used to last for 28 days where traders even from other
countries used come in ships and barges to Thirunavaya through
the Ponnani port.
Today Thirunavaya is the venue for the annual Sarvodaya Mela.
The Thirunavaya Navamukunda temple is also a famous pilgrim
centre.
