Pambummekkattu Mana is the most famous Serpent worship
centre in Kerala. The Pambum Mekattu lllam stands in Vadama village, a part
of Mukundapuram Taluk in Thrissur District, Kerala. The nearest railway
station is Chalakudy. Devotees can reach here by road from any part of
Kerala. The believers can take Thrice - Mala route; 3 Km North to Mala
stands the Mana west to the main road. The name of the bus stop itself is
Makati Junction.
When we reach the pathway in front of Mekkattu Mana, we can see a wall with
Figures of Serpents painted on it. When we turn to the north, an arch-shaped
entrance inscribed with Serpent figures can be seen. When we go further,
thick, tall trees and small temples (Kavu) snatch our attention. Then we
reach the entrance. We can enter the 'Sarpakavu' with a pure mind and body
to seek the blessings of the serpent Gods. The Serpent Gods Nagaraja (male
God) and Naga yakshi (female God) reside in the eastern portion of Mekkattu
Mana. The peculiarity is that there are no idols of these Gods, but daily
poojas are conducted.
