The Shivaratri Mahotsavam at Kannamangalam Thekku Sree Mahadevar Temple in Alappuzha is one of the most awaited religious and cultural events in the region. Held annually, this grand festival is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is celebrated with great devotion and traditional fervor.
The festival not only marks the spiritual significance of Maha Shivaratri but also incorporates the Pitruputri Sangamam, a ritual honoring the ancestors and the divine feminine energy symbolized by the mother goddess.
The celebrations span an entire day with a carefully planned schedule of poojas, rituals and cultural performances. Devotees gather from surrounding villages and towns to participate in the sacred Abhishekam, special poojas and offerings to Lord Shiva seeking blessings for prosperity, health and well being. The temple premises are adorned with traditional decorations, oil lamps and floral arrangements creating a serene and spiritual ambiance.
A unique feature of the festival at Kannamangalam Thekku is the Kettukazhcha where beautifully crafted effigies and structures are brought out in a ceremonial procession. This vibrant display of art and devotion is accompanied by traditional music and percussion performances creating an atmosphere of grandeur and celebration.
In addition to the religious rituals, the festival also emphasizes community participation. Local residents and devotees contribute to the preparation of offerings, arrangements for Annadanam and support the cultural programs making it a true expression of collective devotion and harmony.
