Parakotti Pattu at Malikapuram Temple

Parakotti Pattu at Malikapuram Temple

The legends say that after Palazhi Madhanam, Sani Dosham befell Lord Maha Vishnu. In order to protect Lord Maha Vishnu, Lord Siva and Parvathi took on the roles of `Velan' and `Velathi' and sang the appropriate remedial verses.

Individuals are said to fall under the predominant influence of the Planet Saturn or Planet `Sani', during their zodiac cycles in Life Time. Sani Dosham is said to adversely influence many aspects of Individuals. A Pariharam is done during this phase to pacify Lord Sani. 

One of such rituals is called Parakotti Pattu which is conducted at Malikapuram Temple. 
Many Velans present at Malikapuram temple perform this rituals. They come from the localities of Aranmula, Vadasserikara etc. They sing the story of Kesadipadam as Sani Dosha Pariharam.  To alleviate the Influence of Sani these`Velans' drum and chant 'Kesadipadam'. 

Even to get ride of Naga Dosham, Naga Pattu is performed in front of Naga Raja at Malikapuram Temple.
