Its a popular belief the the God Sree Mutthappan will not let down those who take refuge in him and cannot stand betrayal. People from all walks of life come here and get his blessings before venturing in to any enterprise. Lord Mutthappan protects his devotees and come to their help whenever the faithful are in danger. The prayers of devotees would be heard and answered and there are thousands of people who testify this. The Lord has a hunter's attire and carries with him a bow and arrow and has canines as companions. There are devotees to Sree Muthappan from all religious beliefs and backgrounds and the God is equally compassionate . Many rituals are associated with the Temple and the 'Theyyam' dance is one in which, the 'Theyyam' or 'dancer' impersonates the God and speaks in his language. It is believed this God-impersonate has the powers to offer solutions to the problems faced by devotees and this is done by verbally pronounced cures. The performances begin early in the morning and devotees come this time and unburden their hearts and tell their problems to the God. In the morning there are two Theyyams or Thiru Roopams (sacred appearance), one representing 'Thiruvappan' and the other, 'Vellattom'. The Madayan or chief priest designate receives 'Roopam' or images with Kalasam and music. After a courtesy talk with the priest the Ttheyyam" begins 'Thiru Nrithham' or sacred dance performance by observing all traditions. At the end of this the Ttheyyam' becomes fully "possessed" and transforms itself to the deity impersonating. Later, the devotees are called one by one, listened to and predictive cures are offered to their grievances.
