Shasti Viratham is one of the most important devotional observances dedicated to Lord Subrahmanya celebrated with great devotion at Chemmukath Sree Subrahmanya Swamy Temple in Alappuzha. This sacred festival is observed on the Shasti day, the sixth day of the lunar fortnight which is considered highly auspicious for worshipping Lord Subrahmanya, the divine son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Devotees believe that observing Shasti Viratham with sincerity brings courage, protection, prosperity and spiritual growth.
During the festival, the temple comes alive with a vibrant spiritual atmosphere. Devotees from surrounding areas gather to participate in a series of special rituals, including early morning abhishekams, poojas, and homams conducted by the temple priests. The idol of Lord Subrahmanya is adorned beautifully with flowers, garlands and sacred decorations enhancing the sanctity and visual appeal of the temple. Devotional chanting and bhajans fill the air throughout the day creating a serene and uplifting ambiance for all visitors.
Fasting is an integral part of Shasti Viratham and many devotees observe a strict diet or abstain from certain foods to demonstrate their devotion. The temple also organizes annadanam, or community meal offerings, allowing devotees to partake in prasadam, which is considered highly auspicious. Cultural programs and traditional music performances may also be arranged to honor the festival and celebrate Kerala’s rich temple heritage.
