കോഴികളിയാട്ടം മൂന്നിയൂർ | Giant Horse Festival of Malappuram! | Moonniyur Kaliyatta Maholsavam

Experience the jaw-dropping sights of the historic Moonniyur Kaliyatta Maholsavam in Malappuram, Kerala. Witness the iconic 30-foot-tall 'Poykuthirakal' (giant bamboo horse effigies) and the beautiful cultural harmony of this ancient festival. ​[Main Body] Hello friends! Today, we are traveling to Moonniyur, near Tirurangadi in Malappuram district, to witness the final day of the legendary Kozhikaliyattam at the historic Kaliyattakavu Bhagavathy Temple. Held annually on the first Friday of the Malayalam month of Edavam, this festival is a spectacular blend of vibrant ritual art, community spirit, and deep-rooted legends. ​In this vlog, we explore the unique history of 'Ammancheri Amma,' the presiding deity who is deeply tied to the land's agricultural roots. Watch in awe as the local communities carry towering 30-foot-tall horse effigies (Poykuthirakal) made of bamboo and tender coconut leaves, swaying beautifully through dense crowds. ​Beyond the visual spectacle, we document the heartwarming tradition of the procession paying respects at the historic Mamburam Maqam Dargah first—a century-old testament to Malabar's incredible secular fabric. We also wander through the massive open-air monsoon agricultural market that takes over the streets. ​If you enjoyed traveling with me through the heart of Malappuram's heritage, please hit the Like button, leave a comment with your thoughts, and Subscribe for more authentic travelogues! ​#Malappuram #Kaliyattam #KeralaTourism #MoonniyurKaliyattam #Poykuthira #TravelVlog #KeralaCulture #CulturalHarmony #ExploreKerala
