ശസ്തി വ്രതം 2026 അലപ്പുഴ ശ്രീ സുബ്രഹ്മണ്യ സ്വാമി ക്ഷേത്രം | Shasti Viratham 2026 Sree Subramanya Swamy Temple Alappuzha
Shasti Viratham is a sacred observance dedicated to Lord Murugan, the beloved deity of courage, wisdom and spiritual strength. Celebrated at the Sree Subramanya Swamy Temple in Alappuzha, this festival holds a special place in the hearts of devotees in Kerala and beyond. The festival is observed on the Shasti tithi, the sixth day of the lunar fortnight which is considered highly auspicious for worshipping Lord Murugan and seeking his divine blessings.
During Shasti Viratham, devotees engage in fasting, prayer and special rituals aimed at purifying the mind and body while fostering discipline and devotion. The temple organizes a series of poojas and ceremonial offerings including abhishekam and archana which create a spiritually charged atmosphere throughout the temple complex. The observance is believed to remove obstacles from one’s life, enhance courage and provide clarity in decision making while also offering protection from negativity.
The temple premises are adorned with traditional decorations, oil lamps and flowers reflecting the festive spirit. Devotional music, chanting of Murugan mantras and bhajans resonate throughout the day, adding to the immersive spiritual experience. Many devotees choose to visit the temple during the early hours to participate in special rituals as the first Shasti of the month is considered particularly potent.
