Why this place stands out
Tulur Vanam is a sacred forest and temple near Panathur in Vellarikundu taluk, Kasaragod, known for Kshetrapalan-Bhagavathi worship and an eight-day Sivarathri-season festival.
Tulur Vanam, also written Thulurvanam, is situated near Panathur in the Panathady area of eastern Kasaragod. Keralam Tourism places the site about four kilometres east of Panathur and describes a temple dedicated to Kshetrapalan and Bhagavathi within the sacred setting. An eight-day annual festival beginning around Sivarathri draws devotees from Kasaragod and neighbouring areas of Karnataka, giving the otherwise quiet forest location a strong seasonal cultural life.
The destination is significant because the sacred landscape and religious practice are closely connected; visitors encounter a wooded place of worship rather than a conventional built attraction. Current Keralam Revenue Department information identifies Panathady village as part of Vellarikundu taluk and lists Panathur Post with PIN 671532, correcting older source data that placed Tulur Vanam near Muliyar. Visitors should respect the religious character of the site and verify festival or access arrangements locally.
