Mahashivaratri is one of the most sacred festivals dedicated to Lord Shiva and its observance at Ettumanoor Shri Mahadeva Temple in Kottayam holds deep spiritual, cultural and historical significance. This ancient temple renowned for its exquisite murals and traditional Kerala temple architecture becomes a vibrant centre of devotion during the Mahashivaratri celebrations.
Devotees from across Kerala and beyond gather here to participate in the auspicious rituals and experience the profound spiritual atmosphere that surrounds the temple on this holy occasion.
The Mahashivaratri Mahotsavam at Ettumanoor is marked by a series of elaborate poojas and ceremonies performed in strict adherence to age-old temple traditions. Special abhishekams, deepa aradhana and night long worship are conducted as devotees observe fasting and remain awake in prayer and meditation, believing that worshipping Lord Shiva on this night brings spiritual liberation, inner peace and divine blessings. The chanting of sacred mantras and the resonant sounds of temple bells create an atmosphere of intense devotion throughout the day and night.
Cultural and devotional programmes also form an important part of the celebrations reflecting the rich heritage of Kerala’s temple festivals. Classical music, devotional hymns and traditional art forms enhance the spiritual experience of devotees and visitors alike. The temple premises are beautifully illuminated, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance which lies at the heart of the Mahashivaratri observance.
