Thirunellai

This year's Car festival witnessed rain, just whenever the procession is ready. But the mood of Thirunellaites were not damped by the rain. The missing feature was chenda-melam before the theru. Click to see pictures of 8th Day (Kuthirayottam) & 9th Day (Theru) here .

2011 രാധോല്സവത്തിനു കൊടിയേറി കഴിഞ്ഞു. ഇനി ദിവസങ്ങള്‍ നീണ്ട ആഘോഷങ്ങളും കൂടിചേരലുകളും തിരുനെല്ലയില്‍ കാണാം. ഏപ്രില്‍  22 ഉം 23 ഉം മറക്കല്ലേ. രാധോല്സവം ഒരിക്കലും മറക്കാനാവാത്ത അനുഭവങ്ങള്‍ തരുമാറാകട്ടെ. Photo Courtesy: Facebook Group

Palakkad Fort also known as Tipu's Fort is an old fort situated in the heart of Palakkad town of Kerala state, southern India. It was built by Haider Ali in 1766 ACE and remains one of the best preserved forts in Kerala. It is about 5 km from Thirunellai Village. The fort is said to have existed from very ancient times, but believed to be constructed in present form in 1766 A.D, but little is known of its early history.

The spirit of Thirunellai never seizes in our minds. We Thirunellaites should once again foster our spirits by our presence in the upcoming Theru (Chariot) festival. Confirm your presence
