ANJUR AYYAPPANKAVU
The shrine is located at Mundur, 16kms away from Guruvayur, on the Guruvayur -Thrissur route. The presiding deity here is Ayyappa. It is believed that on the Thiruvathira (Sixth asterism) day in the month of Kumbham (February - March) every year, Lord Ayyappa used to come to Guruvayur
for Arattu which has stopped with the invasion of Tippu. Now there is only Niramala (adorning the whole Sreekovil with flower garland) on the first nine days of Makaram and on the tenth day both Niramala and Utsavam are celebrated by the Devaswom.
