Parassinikadavu is a small temple town in the Kannur district of Kerala, South India. It is famous for the Parassinikadavu Muthappan Temple, a unique shrine where the deity is offered fish, meat, and toddy. The town is situated on the banks of the Valapattanam River and attracts pilgrims and tourists seeking a glimpse of Kerala's cultural traditions. Parassinikadavu offers a serene and culturally rich experience, centered around the Muthappan Temple and its rituals. The Theyyam performances are a major draw, providing a vibrant spectacle of dance and devotion.

The area can also get crowded during festival times, which might be a drawback for some visitors.
