One of the most popular festivals in the town is the Thampiran Temple Ootu Festival which is held once in twelve years. The main industry of this town is agriculture and straw making. Paddy, banana, gram, coconut and cassava are cultivated here. The water fall located in the northern part of this town (Kattupudur) is Lungai Falls. Water flows throughout the year in this waterfall. And as far as the eye can see are evergreen forests, mountains and perennial streams. The waterfall is situated at a height of 1000 feet from the base of the hill.

Ootu festival
When the Jothidar told King of Kerala, 'Younger songer will be King after you', but he said, 'I don't want a position that my brother does not have', so that king left the country. The one who renounced everything and lived in the mountains, finally attained Jiva Samadhi in this town. The people of this town built a temple in his memory and made 12 forts of rice to him. Our forefathers paid that respect to the abdicated Maharaja, and continues to this day, - once in 12 years.
