Oachirakali is a famous ritual performed here during June and it involves mock-fighting in muddy water by traditional martial art experts.

Soldiers belonging to the above Karas met together at Oachira in the Malayalam month of Mithuna every year and performed war-like exercises.

Ward and Conner, two British officials entrusted to survey of Travancore in the beginning of the 19th century, made their observations about Oachira in their report.

For that, we should understand the observations made by the two British officials, Ward and Conner, who conducted a survey in the erstwhile Travancore during the beginning of the 19th century.

This chira was used by the soldiers in olden days for bathing and for supplying water to the horses used in the war exercises.

People worship the Para Brahman (the original formless power lord shiva) under neatly preserved trees.

Malayalam film Padamudra , directed by R. Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal in the lead role, contains a reference to the beliefs of Ochira.
