ശഷ്തി വിരതം 2026 കിടങ്ങൂർ ശ്രീ സുബ്രഹ്മണ്യസ്വാമി ക്ഷേത്രം കോട്ടയം | Shasti Viratham 2026 Kidangoor Sree Subramanyaswami Temple Kottayam
Shasti Viratham is one of the most revered festivals dedicated to Lord Subramanya, and the Kidangoor Sree Subramanyaswami Temple in Kottayam becomes a center of devotion and spiritual fervor during this time. Observed annually, this festival falls on the sixth day (Shasti) of the lunar fortnight in the Malayalam calendar and holds special significance for devotees seeking the blessings of Lord Murugan for courage, wisdom and prosperity.
During Shasti Viratham, the temple comes alive with a series of traditional rituals and ceremonies that are meticulously conducted by the priests. Devotees participate in early morning abhishekam, where the idol of Lord Subramanya is bathed with sacred substances such as milk, honey, ghee, and sandalwood paste, accompanied by chanting of Vedic hymns. The poojas are performed with great devotion, emphasizing purification and spiritual upliftment.
Special offerings and alankarams of the deity are a highlight of the festival attracting devotees from various parts of Kottayam and neighboring districts. Many devotees observe a strict fast or undertake the Shasti Vratham which involves abstinence from certain foods and maintaining celibacy, as a mark of reverence and penance. The atmosphere in and around the temple during this festival is vibrant yet serene with the ringing of temple bells, the aroma of incense and devotional music enhancing the spiritual experience.
Apart from the rituals, the festival also fosters community participation. Annadanam is arranged for hundreds of devotees, creating a sense of unity and service. Devotees also engage in prayers, chanting Subramanya stotras and circumambulating the sanctum, seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and protection from obstacles. Shasti Viratham at Kidangoor Sree Subramanyaswami Temple is thus not only a religious observance but also a celebration of devotion, discipline and spiritual renewal.
