This majestic edifice stands up with all its pride and prestige at the PO junction on the Thodupuzha road. Thodupuzhayaar (river) flows quietly very close by. This church was built by the Syrian Catholics under Kothamangalam Diocese. The church’s vast compound is home for the famous Nirmala Higher Secondary School and Little Flower primary school. Both schools are over 50 years old and are the pride of Muvattupuzha residents.
The Holy Magi Syro-Malabar Catholic Forane Church is situated in the center of Muvattupuzha, Kerala, India. The church is under eparchy of Kothamangalam. The current vicar of church is Fr.Paul Nedumpurath.
This is an ancient Devi temple situated at the confluence of 3 rivers and hence Muvattupuzha (city of 3 rivers) got its name. The annual 10-day festival (Chirappu Mahotsavam) of the temple is celebrated with great fervour and gaiety every year in December which concludes on the 26th December (Dhanu 11), that coincides with the 41st day of Mandala pooja festival, thereby adds to the sanctity and importance of this festival as the main event of the city. The final 5 days of the celebration is so colourful and eventful with 'Ezhunnallipu'( procession ) on 5 decorated elephants along with 'Pancha Vadyam ' or 'Thayambaka' by group of 20 and odd drummers and other artists lead by world renowned drummists of Kerala.
