The Kuzhuvelil Devi Temple in Alappuzha is set to host its much-awaited annual celebrations in 2026, featuring a series of traditional rituals and cultural events that draw devotees from across Kerala.
The celebrations begin with the Varshikotsavam, the temple’s annual festival marked by early morning rituals including Nirmalyam, Abhishekam, Ganapathi Homam, and Usha Pooja, followed by the recitation of the Bhagavata and the Uchcha Pooja at noon. Daily Annadanam is offered to hundreds of devotees, symbolizing the temple’s commitment to service and devotion. In the evenings, the temple reopens for cultural programs and traditional performances including Chenda Melam and Deepa Aradhana accompanied by the ceremonial display of lamps.
One of the festival’s highlights is the Sarppam Thullal Mahotsavam, a sacred snake dance ritual performed with devotion to appease the serpent deities. This ritual is accompanied by offerings at different times of the day and night ensuring participation from devotees of all ages. Devotees also participate in Thirumudi Ezhunnallath, the ceremonial procession of the crowned idol which moves through designated routes around the temple, accompanied by traditional music, Thalappoli and Pallivilakku.
The festival also showcases Kathakali performances, Thottampattu and other traditional Kerala art forms, providing both spiritual and cultural enrichment. The events are meticulously coordinated by the temple committee and supported by local families and devotees reflecting the strong community spirit. The festival concludes with the final rituals, Sarppam Thullal and a Samoohasadhya leaving devotees with a deep sense of devotion and cultural pride.
