The Akshaya Neyvilakku & Aarattu Mahotsavam 2026 at Sree Ananthasayaneswara Temple, Muhamma, Alappuzha is a deeply sacred and culturally significant temple festival celebrated with great devotion and traditional Kerala rituals. Dedicated to Lord Ananthasayaneswara, the presiding deity of the temple, this festival reflects the spiritual richness and heritage of the region while bringing together devotees from various places in an atmosphere of faith and harmony.
One of the main highlights of the festival is the Neyvilakku ritual, where devotees offer ghee lamps inside the temple as a symbol of purity, prosperity, and divine blessings. The lighting of lamps creates a serene and spiritual environment that fills the temple with positive energy and devotion. Devotees believe that participating in this ritual brings peace of mind, removes obstacles and enhances spiritual growth.
The festival also features the grand Aarattu ceremony which is a traditional ritual bathing of the deity. The idol of Lord Ananthasayaneswara is taken in a ceremonial procession accompanied by temple elephants, traditional percussion instruments and devotional chants. The procession leads to a nearby sacred water body where the Aarattu ritual is performed symbolizing purification and divine rejuvenation.
Along with these rituals, the temple hosts various special poojas, bhajans and cultural performances that showcase Kerala’s classical art forms and devotional traditions. The entire temple surroundings become vibrant with spiritual energy attracting large gatherings of devotees who participate with deep faith and enthusiasm.
