Thriputharattu is the most significant and spiritually profound festival celebrated at Chengannur Mahadevar Temple in Alappuzha district of Kerala.

Devotees from across Kerala and neighboring regions gather at the temple during this auspicious period to witness and take part in the sacred ceremonies associated with the festival.
The festival spans several days and is marked by elaborate temple rituals, special poojas and offerings conducted according to ancient tantric and Vedic practices. One of the distinctive aspects of Thriputharattu is its emphasis on the divine marital harmony of the presiding deities, Mahadeva and Bhagavati which is believed to bestow prosperity, marital bliss and spiritual well-being upon devotees. The temple atmosphere during these days is filled with devotional chants, the fragrance of flowers and incense and the rhythmic sounds of traditional percussion instruments.
A highlight of the festival is the grand procession of the deities, accompanied by decorated elephants, temple musicians and devotees chanting hymns. Classical temple art forms such as Panchavadyam, Chenda Melam, and traditional instrumental ensembles add to the festive grandeur, reflecting Kerala’s rich cultural heritage. The ceremonial Aarattu, performed at a sacred water body signifies ritual purification and the divine return of the deities after the celebrations, drawing large crowds of devotees who consider witnessing it highly auspicious.
