History & significance

A very old kavu near Dharmadam by Thalassery in Kannur district, where Rama is worshipped as Daivathaar with Lakshmana as Angakkaran and Hanuman as Bappuran, and which is closely tied to the Thiyya community. A small bow and arrow is offered in the name of every Thiyya boy born in the four surrounding regions, giving it the byname Andalure Aayiram Ville, the thousand bows of Andalur.
