Nenmara Vallanghi Vela
Nemmara hosts the Nenmara Vallanghi Vela, a yearly festival jointly organised by Nemmara & Vallangi Desham.[3]
The festival is held in the Nellikulangara Bhagavathy Temple, and runs from 3-16 April each year. It involves friendly rivalry between the villages of Nemmara and Vallangi, as they try to outcompete each other in artistic ceremonies such as Kummattikali, Karivela and a parade of caparisoned elephants.[3]
