The Ashtabandha Kalasham 2026 at Thathapally Sree Venugopala Temple, Kottayam is one of the most revered spiritual events in the region drawing devotees and cultural enthusiasts alike.
This sacred ceremony involves the consecration of the deity using the traditional Ashtabandha ritual which employs eight sacred substances to bind the idol to the sanctified Kalasham ensuring divine presence and spiritual sanctity. It is a unique opportunity for devotees to witness an age old ritual that combines meticulous Vedic procedures with deep devotion and cultural richness.
Every day begins with early morning Poojas and Homams conducted by experienced priests followed by Abhishekam rituals and special Kalasha installations. The temple premises are adorned beautifully creating an atmosphere of devotion, serenity and celebration.
Each ritual is performed with precise adherence to tradition allowing devotees to receive the blessings of Lord Venugopala.
Apart from the main religious ceremonies, the festival also features a rich cultural program in the evenings. Devotional music, Thiruvathirakali, harmonium fusion concerts and traditional dances are performed to engage and inspire the community. Spiritual discourses are also organized offering insights into Vedic teachings, the significance of the rituals and the temple’s sacred history. The festival emphasizes not only religious observance but also cultural preservation and community participation.
Prasadam is distributed daily allowing devotees to partake in the sacred offerings and special arrangements are made for those wishing to participate in processions and other ceremonial activities. The festival provides an opportunity for families and devotees from across Kerala to come together celebrate faith and experience the rich heritage of Kerala’s temple traditions.
