തോറ്റംപാട്ട് മഹോത്സവം 2026 ചെറിയഴീക്കൽ വടക്കേനട ശ്രീ ഭഗവതി ക്ഷേത്രം കൊല്ലം | Thottampattu Mahotsavam 2026 Cheriazheekal Vadakkenada Sree Bhagavathi Temple Kollam
The Thottampattu Mahotsavam at Cheriazheekal Vadakkenada Sree Bhagavathi Temple, Kollam is a deeply revered temple festival that beautifully reflects the spiritual traditions and cultural richness of Kerala. Dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathi, the festival holds immense significance among devotees who gather in large numbers to seek blessings and participate in the sacred rituals performed during this auspicious period.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the festival is the Thottampattu ritual, a traditional devotional performance that narrates mythological stories associated with the divine feminine energy. Through rhythmic singing and ritualistic presentation, this sacred art form invokes the presence of the Goddess and creates a spiritually charged atmosphere within the temple. The temple premises come alive with devotion, music and vibrant cultural expressions offering a unique blend of faith and heritage.
The festival begins with the auspicious Thrikodiyettu marking the commencement of the celebrations. Each day is filled with special poojas, offerings, and rituals such as Gurusi, Malarveppu and other traditional ceremonies that are performed with great devotion. The grand Thiruvabharana procession where the sacred ornaments of the deity are carried in a ceremonial procession is a major highlight that draws the attention of devotees and visitors alike.
Cultural programs form an integral part of the Mahotsavam with classical art forms like Kathakali and other temple arts being performed, preserving Kerala’s rich artistic legacy. The atmosphere is further enriched by Annadanam, the community feast that symbolizes unity, compassion and service.
Another spectacular event is the Rathachalanam where the decorated chariot of the Goddess is taken around with devotion and traditional music. The festival culminates in the sacred Pongala offering, a powerful ritual performed predominantly by women devotees as an act of devotion and gratitude to the Goddess.
