The Feast of Vallarpadathamma is marked by special prayers, processions, and various religious and cultural activities. The celebration's highlight is the grand procession in which the faithful carry the revered painting of the Lady of Ransom. The event is a testament to the deep-rooted faith and devotion of the people, making it a significant occasion.
Historically, access to Vallarpadam was primarily through regular boat services, offering breathtaking views of the backwaters. However, since the construction of the Goshree bridges in 2004, reaching the island has become much easier and faster.
