OMALLOOR VAYAL VANIBHOM
(AGRICULTURE FAIR)
The annual agriculture fair, Vayal Vanibhom, organized by the Omalloor
grama panchayat is drawing good crowd from pathanamthitta and surrounding areas.
Agriculture produces from the districts are display at the month long fair which began on Monday 15th March, 2010. The Omalloor Vayal Vanibhom was a major annual attraction in olden days and farmers used to exchange agriculture produce and cattle at the fair.
In olden days, peasants from the neighbouring districts as well as villages in the border areas of Tamil Nadu used to visit the hamlet for their annual purchase of agriculture produce and farming implements. Even now, people purchase locally made equipment like Chirava ( coconut scrapper) Ulakka and different kinds of knives at the fair.
