Parassinikkadavu is famous for the most revered god of the poor 'Sree Muthappan' and the Shrine known as the 'Parssini Muthappan Matappura' which can be described as the 'Dharmasthala of North Malabar'. Sree Muthappan is believed to be the reincarnation of 'Lord Paramashiva'. As Sree Muthappan is believed to be a 'hunter god', the offereings and routine in 'Parassini Matappura' is totally different from the other temples in Kerala. Toddy, fish, meat etc are the usual offerings to Sree Muthappan.
The everyday performance of the 'Muthappan Theyyam' known as 'Vellattam' and the 'individual blessing' of Sree Muthappan makes it a different experience for the devotees from all over the world. The pleasant experience of the hospitality of the Parassini Matappura authorities will remain still in the minds of the devotees even after leaving the Matappura.
