അക്ഷയത്രിതീയ ശ്രീ ഉമാമഹേശ്വര സ്വാമി ക്ഷേത്രം കൊല്ലം | Akshayathrithiya Sree Umamaheshwara Swami Temple Kollam
Akshayathrithiya is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar and is observed with deep devotion and spiritual enthusiasm at Sree Umamaheshwara Swami Temple in Kollam. This sacred occasion is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati worshipped here in their divine form as Umamaheshwara, symbolizing the perfect union of cosmic energy, harmony, and eternal balance. Devotees firmly believe that any spiritual activity performed on this day yields inexhaustible benefits making the festival especially significant for prayers seeking prosperity, success and spiritual growth.
At Sree Umamaheshwara Swami Temple, Akshayathrithiya begins in the early hours with ritualistic purification ceremonies and special abhishekams performed to the presiding deity. Sacred offerings such as flowers, bilva leaves, fruits and traditional lamps are presented with utmost devotion. The temple atmosphere becomes spiritually vibrant as priests chant Vedic hymns and Shiva mantras creating an aura of peace and divine grace. Devotees from Kollam and nearby regions visit the temple to participate in these rituals, believing that worship on this day brings uninterrupted prosperity and removes obstacles from one’s life.
A distinctive feature of Akshayathrithiya celebrations at this temple is the emphasis on charity and selfless giving. Many devotees engage in annadanam, donations to the temple and acts of service, considering generosity on this day as a pathway to spiritual merit. Offering gold, grains or symbolic items is also regarded as highly auspicious as Akshayathrithiya is traditionally associated with abundance that never diminishes. Families often begin new ventures, spiritual vows or important life decisions after seeking blessings from Lord Umamaheshwara on this day.
The festival also strengthens the cultural and spiritual unity of the local community. The temple premises become a gathering space where devotees collectively participate in prayers, bhajans and quiet meditation. Unlike grand processional festivals, Akshayathrithiya here retains a serene and devotional character focusing more on inner spiritual fulfillment than outward celebration. This simplicity enhances the sanctity of the occasion and allows devotees to connect deeply with the divine.
