പൂയം മഹോത്സവം 2026 ശ്രീകുമാരപുരം ക്ഷേത്രം കൊല്ലം | Pooyam Mahotsavam 2026 Sreekumarapuram Temple Kollam
Pooyam Mahotsavam at Sreekumarapuram Temple, Kollam is one of the most vibrant and spiritually uplifting annual festivals dedicated to Lord Bala Subrahmanya. Celebrated with deep devotion and traditional grandeur, the festival brings together devotees from across the region to experience a unique blend of ritualistic worship, cultural heritage and community harmony.
The festival begins with the sacred Thrikodiyettu marking the commencement of a series of auspicious rituals and temple ceremonies. Each day is filled with special poojas such as Nirmalya Darshan, Usha Pooja, Ucha Pooja and Athazha Pooja, along with various Abhishekams including Panchamrutham, milk, honey and ghee offerings to the deity. Devotees actively participate in these rituals, seeking blessings for prosperity, health and spiritual well being.
One of the most significant highlights of the festival is the Kavadi procession, a deeply symbolic act of devotion where devotees undertake vratham and carry beautifully decorated Kavadis as an offering to Lord Subrahmanya. This sacred ritual is believed to fulfill wishes and remove obstacles from the lives of devotees. The grand Kavadi Abhishekam that follows is a visually and spiritually enriching experience.
The festival also features the traditional Muruka Sadya, a devotional feast served to devotees reflecting the temple’s spirit of generosity and community sharing. Cultural programs such as Sopana Sangeetham, Ottam Thullal, Kathaprasangam, devotional music concerts, and folk performances add a festive charm preserving the rich artistic traditions of Kerala.
The concluding rituals include the majestic Aarattu procession and ceremonial bath symbolizing purification and divine grace.
