Every Shivaratri Kurumba Tribals Make the Hazardous Pilgrimage up the Mountain to Worship Lord Shiva The Malleswaram Temple at Attappady is coming to the national limelight with its inclusion in the Swadeshi Darshan project of the Central Government. This development also provides an opportunity to make people living outside Attappady aware of the legends of the Adivasis. Every Shivaratri, a group of Kurumba tribals make the hazardous pilgrimage up the mountain to worship Lord Shiva. Only the tribals are permitted on the mountain as they return with holy water for the rest of the tribe. However, the secular state tried to usurp the temple here too. |
