മഹാ ശിവരാത്രി ആഘോഷം 2026 പള്ളുരുത്തി ശ്രീഭവാനീശ്വര ക്ഷേത്രം എറണാകുളം | Maha Shivaratri Agosham 2026 Palluruthy Shri Bhavaneeswara Temple Ernakulam
Maha Shivaratri Agosham at Palluruthy Shri Bhavaneeswara Temple in Ernakulam is one of the most sacred and vibrant celebrations in Kerala attracting devotees from across the region. This year the festival will be observed on February 15 and 16, 2026 bringing together spiritual rituals, devotional practices and cultural performances that honor Lord Shiva in his supreme form.
The temple becomes a hub of devotion and spiritual energy with priests performing elaborate homams and abhishekams throughout the day.
Among the key rituals are the Mahamrityunjaya Homam aimed at removing obstacles, warding off negative influences and promoting health and longevity. Devotees also participate in Elaneer Abhishekam, offering tender coconut water to the deity and Ksheeradhara, a ritual bathing of the Shiva Lingam with milk which is believed to purify the mind and soul. The temple grounds resonate with the sound of Akhand Namajapam, a continuous chanting of Lord Shiva’s name creating a deeply meditative and spiritually uplifting atmosphere.
In addition to the religious ceremonies, the festival features vibrant cultural programs including traditional dance forms such as Thiruvathira, devotional bhajans and musical performances by skilled artists and students from local schools.
The celebrations also include Shivarathri Bali, a ritual offering performed in the early morning hours conducted under the guidance of senior priests to ensure the sanctity of the event.
Special arrangements for devotees include offerings, coupons for homams and facilities within the temple premises. The Palluruthy Shri Bhavaneeswara Temple’s Maha Shivaratri Agosham is a profound blend of devotion, tradition and community spirit making it a truly memorable and transformative experience for everyone who attends.
