The Kumbhakuda Ghosayatra is one of the most anticipated and vibrant temple festivals celebrated at Nattakom Sree Ponkunnathukavu Bhagavathi Temple in Kottayam, Kerala. This annual festival held during the Malayalam month of Kumbham, brings together devotees, locals and visitors from across the state to witness and participate in an extraordinary display of devotion, tradition and culture.
The festival is particularly dedicated to the worship of Sree Bhagavathi, the presiding deity of the temple and is associated with numerous ancient rituals and ceremonial practices that have been preserved over generations.

Devotees accompany the idol of the goddess beautifully adorned with traditional decorations, while accompanied by rhythmic temple drums, wind instruments, and other classical Kerala percussion ensembles. The vibrant energy of the procession combined with the chanting of devotional songs and the waving of ceremonial umbrellas creates a captivating and spiritually uplifting atmosphere.
Apart from the procession, the festival includes special poojas, homams and offerings performed to invoke the blessings of the goddess for health, prosperity and protection.
