പൂര മഹോത്സവം 2026 പായൽകുളങ്ങര ശ്രീദേവി ക്ഷേത്രം ആലപ്പുഴ | Pooram Mahotsavam 2026 Payalkulangara Sree Devi Temple Alappuzha
Pooram Mahotsavam 2026 at the sacred Payalkulangara Sree Devi Temple in Alappuzha is a vibrant annual celebration that reflects the rich spiritual heritage and cultural traditions of Kerala. Observed in the Malayalam month of Kumbham (1201 ME), this grand temple festival draws devotees, families, and cultural enthusiasts from across the region to witness days filled with devotion, rituals and traditional art forms.
The festival begins with the ceremonial Kappukettu and Kodiyettu marking the formal commencement of the celebrations. Each day features a series of sacred rituals including Ganapathi Homam, Usha Pooja, Ucha Pooja, Sreebali, Panchagavya Navaka Kalasa Abhishekam, Guruthi and special Deeparadhana ceremonies. The temple premises resonate with the divine sounds of Nadaswaram and Chenda Melam creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere for devotees.
One of the major highlights of the festival is Pallivetta, the symbolic royal hunt ritual followed by the sacred Aarattu ceremony where the deity is ceremoniously taken in procession for the holy bath in the temple pond. The Kodiyirakku signifies the formal conclusion of the Mahotsavam.
Beyond the rituals, the festival is equally known for its cultural grandeur. Traditional performances such as Sopana Sangeetham, Thottampattu, devotional music concerts, dance dramas and stage programs are organized in the evenings. Colorful processions, Thalappoli, special lamp offerings and beautifully decorated kolams enhance the festive spirit.
