Cherpunkal's culture is a vibrant tapestry of Kerala's agrarian lifestyle and deep-rooted Syro-Malabar Catholic traditions.
- **Christian Heritage Arts**: The village keeps alive traditional art forms like *Margamkali* (a traditional group dance practiced by the Syrian Christian community) and *Parichamuttukali* (a martial dance), often performed during church festivals and weddings. - **Architecture**: The older homes and church buildings feature classic Kerala architectural elements, including sloping terracotta tiled roofs and extensive use of local teak and laterite stone. - **Community Festivals**: Harvest festivals like Onam are celebrated uniformly across the village with floral carpets (*pookkalam*) and grand vegetarian feasts (*sadya*), transcending religious boundaries.
