ശിവരാത്രി മഹോത്സവം 2026 ശ്രീ വേട്ടക്കൊരുമകൻ ക്ഷേത്രം കണ്ണൂർ | Shivaratri Mahotsavam 2026 Sree Vettakkorumakan Temple Kannur
Shivaratri at Sree Vettakkorumakan Temple in Blathur, Kannur is a spiritually significant observance that draws devotees from across the region to participate in prayer, devotion and cultural harmony. The temple, dedicated to Lord Vettakkorumakan, a revered form associated with Shaiva traditions becomes a vibrant center of worship and sacred activities during this auspicious occasion.
On Shivaratri, devotees gather with deep faith to observe rituals that symbolize purification, inner awakening and devotion to Lord Shiva. The evening rituals begin with Deeparadhana where rows of lamps are lit creating a serene and divine atmosphere throughout the temple premises. This is followed by special Shiva Pooja performed according to traditional temple customs, invoking blessings for peace, prosperity and spiritual well being. The distribution of Panaka water after the pooja reflects the temple’s age old practice of offering prasadam to devotees as a symbol of divine grace.
Beyond the rituals, Shivaratri celebrations at this temple are also marked by cultural and devotional programmes that continue into the night. Classical and folk dance performances including traditional art forms like Thiruvathirakali add a festive and devotional spirit to the occasion. These performances are deeply rooted in Kerala’s cultural heritage and are offered as acts of devotion rather than mere entertainment. Folk songs, devotional music sessions and bhakti geethams further enrich the spiritual ambiance allowing devotees to immerse themselves in the essence of Shivaratri through music and rhythm.
The celebrations are typically held at the Nataraja Mandapam, a venue that holds symbolic importance as Lord Nataraja represents the cosmic dance of Shiva. Community participation is a key aspect of the festival with devotees of all ages coming together to support and take part in the observances.
