The annual Prathishta Dina and Kaliyatta Mahotsavam is one of the most spiritually significant and culturally vibrant celebrations held at the sacred Kanjiramkunnu Sree Poyyil Bhagavathi Temple located at Pappinisseri Poyyil in Kannur district, Kerala. This revered temple dedicated to Sree Poyyil Bhagavathi, has long been a center of devotion, faith and traditional worship practices rooted deeply in the ritual heritage of North Kerala.
The festival marks the consecration anniversary of the deity and is observed with great reverence, attracting devotees from nearby villages and distant places alike. During these auspicious days, the temple atmosphere is filled with devotion as special poojas, homams, deeparadhana, and elaborate rituals are performed according to traditional tantric rites under the guidance of learned priests. Each ritual is conducted with precision and spiritual discipline emphasizing the temple’s age-old customs and sacred lineage.
A major highlight of the celebrations is the Kaliyattam, a ritual art form closely associated with Bhagavathi temples in Kannur. These ceremonial performances including vellattam, thottam and purappadu symbolically represent divine energies and are believed to invoke the presence and blessings of the deity. The rhythmic beats of traditional percussion instruments, vibrant costumes and powerful ritual movements create an awe inspiring spiritual experience for devotees and observers.
The festival also reflects the strong sense of community surrounding the temple. Devotees actively participate by offering prayers, performing vows such as tulabharam and partaking in prasada sadhya which is served as a sacred communal meal. Beyond religious observances, the celebration serves as a unifying cultural event that preserves and promotes Kerala’s ritual traditions and collective faith.
