Centuries ago when there were no temples, people across Kerala used 'Kavu' as a worship place. ‘Kavu' is nothing but a piece of land with trees and bushes in mass. Later on Temples were formed as a worship place by the Brahmins for keeping their supremacy.
However a few Kavus survived the resistance and continue to exist. Ochira is one among them. Ochira still keeps the tradition of the Kavus, making this place a historically important for Kerala.
