Pooramahotsavam 2025 | Aravukad Sreedevi Temple Alappuzha
The Festival of this Devi Temple starts in the Malayalam
month of Meenam from Bharani to Pooram for ten days.
People from various parts of the state come to the temple to
witness the festivities and programs. Thiripidutham, holding
of the Lighted torch is a very important offering in which
thousands of devotees are participating. Traditional
performing arts, music and dance are staged during the
period.
There is a flag hoisting ceremony to mark the beginning of
the festival. The shrine is traditionally decorated with
plantain, coconut leaves, flowers, traditional lamps and
lights. The Arattu festival attracts thousands of devotees.
The utsava murti of the deity is taken for ritualistic
purification by water on the Aarattu day. On the tenth day of
the festival after the Deeparadhana, devotees take a dip in
the Temple Pond and come before the temple in wet
clothes. The priest then gives a lighted torch to the devotees
and they go round the temple in Prathikshna. It is believed
that the ritual will please the Goddess who will grant them
their wishes.
