The Sreemad Devi Bhagavatha Navah Yajnam and Aswathi Bharani Mahotsavam celebrated at Kurungappally Sree Bhagavathi Temple in Kollam is a spiritually significant and culturally vibrant temple festival dedicated to the divine mother, Sree Bhagavathi.
This sacred celebration brings together devotees, scholars and spiritual seekers who gather at the temple to participate in rituals, prayers and traditional performances that glorify the supreme power of the Goddess.
The Navah Yajnam is a nine day spiritual observance centered on the recitation and listening of the sacred text Sreemad Devi Bhagavatham which narrates the divine manifestations, miracles and supreme power of the primordial goddess, Adi Parashakti. Devotees believe that listening to and participating in the parayanam (scriptural recitation) helps purify the mind, strengthen devotion and bring peace, prosperity and spiritual upliftment. The yajnam is accompanied by various Vedic rituals such as Ganapathi Homam, Gayatri Homam, Navakshari Homam and other sacred poojas conducted according to traditional tantric and temple customs.
Throughout the festival, devotees also take part in annadanam, bhajans, spiritual discourses and devotional chanting. These practices symbolize charity, devotion and collective participation in spiritual merit. The temple premises become filled with divine energy as rituals and prayers continue from early morning until evening.
The highlight of the celebration is the Aswathi Bharani Mahotsavam, a grand temple festival marked by elaborate poojas, vibrant cultural performances and traditional temple rituals. Devotees witness sacred ceremonies such as special abhishekams, deeparadhana and offerings to the goddess. The festival atmosphere is further enriched with traditional temple arts, devotional music and community gatherings that reflect the deep cultural heritage of Kerala temple traditions.
