വിഷു ഉത്സവം 2026 ചിറക്കടവ് ശ്രീ മഹാവിഷ്ണു ക്ഷേത്രം കോട്ടയം | Vishu Utsavam 2026 Chirakkadavu Sree Mahavishnu Temple Kottayam
The Vishu Utsavam at Chirakkadavu Sree Mahavishnu Temple, Kottayam is a highly sacred and culturally significant celebration dedicated to Lord Vishnu marking the Malayalam New Year with deep devotion and traditional Kerala temple rituals.
This annual festival attracts hundreds of devotees who gather to seek blessings for prosperity, happiness and spiritual well being.
The celebration begins with the auspicious Palliyunarthal, the ritual awakening of the deity symbolizing the start of a spiritually blessed day. One of the most important highlights is the Vishukkani Darshanam where devotees receive the first divine sight of Lord Vishnu believed to bring good fortune and positivity for the year ahead. This ritual is prepared with great care, featuring traditional arrangements that reflect Kerala’s rich cultural heritage.
Following the Vishukkani, the temple conducts sacred rituals such as Ganapathi Homam which is performed to remove obstacles and ensure success in life. The divine Abhishekam and Usha Nivedyam further enhance the spiritual atmosphere as offerings are made to the deity with devotion and purity. These rituals are followed by Ucha Pooja, the midday worship that draws devotees in large numbers.
In the evening, the temple glows with the light of countless lamps during Deeparadhana creating a serene and divine environment. The final offerings of the day include Nivedyam, along with traditional cultural programs such as Parayanam, Kottippadi Seva and the rhythmic Panchari Melam which showcase Kerala’s vibrant temple art forms.
