The Thalapoli Mahostavam of Ponneth Devi Kshethram is conducted every year in Makara Masam, according to Malayalam calender, that comes around February. 

This year the festival starts on Avittam and ends on Bharani. Seven days of puja's and functions are conducted in a grand manner.The festival starts with the daily pujas and followed by para eyunallipu. The temple elephant is decorated and it carries the holy deity. The pakalpooram is on the 6th day and the procession starts from Ayyankandayath temple and reaches Ponneth temple taking para all through the way. The 7th day is Thookamkuttal. It is a breathtaking sight to watch. A man clings to a big pole and circles himself around the temple. This ceremony is not performed in most of the temples nowadays.
