Kunnathur Padi is the historic center for the folk Hindu deity Sree Muthappan. The center stands in Payyavoor Grama Panchayat, Kannur District of the Kerala state of India, 3,000 feet above sea level, on top of Udumbumala in the Sahyadri mountains. The region belonged to the kingdom of the Mannanar dynasty, the line of Muttappan. In 1902, Kunhikelapan Mannanar, the last king of this dynasty of Muthappan's clan, was killed and the British government seized the property of this dynasty, and Karakattidam Nayanar, a vassal of Mannanar, got the right to manage Kunnathur Padi.

The Kunnathur Padi festival is conducted here, but no temple exists for Sree Muthappan. The festival takes place in a natural setting, as it is believed that Sree Muthappan said, "Fallen leaves, a spring, a large mountain, a round stone, forest and palm trees are enough for me."

This forested hilly area is now known as Kunnathur Padi. There is a shrine of Patikutiyamma here on the top of the hill. Historians say that the argument is wrong if we examine the brahmanical history. This Arudam is the temple of the Mannanar royal family.[1] Before that, the ancient king Kuttan dynasty ruled from Purali hill. During the thirty-day long festival, the Mannanars are required to fast by drinking thinakkanji. Only Mannanar and Patni McCachiar have seats here. All the rest of the countrymen and nobles who come to the festival should spread wild leaves on the ground. Shanthikars here belonged to two Thiyya communities with the title of Mandakurup and Rairukurup. Mannanara's palace is also believed to be the birthplace of the grandfather.

During the festival season, a temporary Madappura is erected, called Sreekovil, in the middle of the forest. There is a glade and a cave in the middle of the forest. On the west side of the Madappura is a stone, a rock stand and a mud platform. On each side of the cave there is a palm tree. On the north side, there is a spring called Thiruvankadavu. Beyond that is Aadipadi.

Thanthries do the purifying rituals (Sudhi, Pasudanam, Punyaham, Ganapati homam and Bhagavathiseva). The Malayirakkal (invoking) of Sri Muthappan is done by Puralimala. In all other madappuras, this is done by Kunnathurpadi.

Thiruvappana and Vellattam do not appear simultaneously in the padi as in many other Sree Muthappan centres.

The festival at Padi lasts from the month of Dhanu to Makaram (mid-December to mid-January).
