Altharakkal Sree Muthappan Madapura

Altharakkal Sree Muthappan Madapura is a Hindu temple in Pullur village with traditional Kerala architectural features. The grounds contain spaces designed for religious ceremonies and gatherings that occur throughout the year.

The temple gained prominence through the establishment of a dedicated committee that led to its recognition across the region. This structural development helped establish and maintain regular religious activities.

The temple presents Sri Muthappan through Theyyam, a traditional ritual art form performed in two versions: Thiruvappana featuring a fish crown and Vellattam with a crescent crown. These performances are woven into the religious and visual life of the place.

The temple is accessible via the Pullur-Pannikkunnu Road, with Kanhangad railway station serving as the nearest transport connection. Mangalore International Airport also provides an option for reaching the area.

Unlike other Theyyam rituals that happen only seasonally, the Sri Muthappan Theyyam performances at this temple occur year-round. This continuous practice allows visitors to witness this traditional art form at any time of year.
