The main part of Parayeduppu is the Jeevathaconstructed in the model of the temple structure itself. The rhythms used during Jeevatha Ezunnallathu (procession) are quite noteworthy.

The ensemble consists of Veekkan chenda, Uruttu chenda (both drums), Elathaalam (cymbals), Kombu and Kuzhal (both, wind instruments).
