The local festivals are connected with a temple, church, a national phenomenon. The festivals are cultural events which bring together people from all walks of life, all castes and creeds. These are perhaps the only occasions when one gets to watch the wealth of classical and folkarts of the land which are otherwise fast being relegated to memory. In this the most important one is Madathikavu Bhagavathys utsavam which is celebrated on Makaram 7th and 8th of every year (in January). The festival with an unmatched pageantry of drums, 3 caparisoned elephants and brilliant fireworks are so inseparably integrated that the extravaganza of Utsavam, excites you in the same breath when you hear the name of Pooppathy. Besides the major utsavam, the temple has a unique distinction of hosting Utsavams of two backward communities with equal fervency. 'Desavilakku Utsavam'is celebrated in great enthusiasm. The 'Soyustar
Soccer Fest' is a major event which was revived in the recent past by Football frenzy people and give unmatched enthusiasm to the every category of locals.

The place is very rich of labour force and have a short fall of sufficient number of factories or other production area to utilise the force in a good way. A considerable portion of its people are in government service. There is a group of dedicated youth who are organizing Competitive Exam Oriented Coaching Class. The coaching & Career Guidance is being given absolutely free with support of Poyya Grama Panchayath.
