The annual Kettukazhcha festival at Trichendamangalam Mahadevar Temple stands as one of the most culturally vibrant and spiritually significant temple celebrations in Pathanamthitta district, Kerala.
Deeply rooted in tradition, this festival reflects centuries of devotion, craftsmanship and community participation making it a living symbol of Kerala’s rich temple heritage.
Held during the auspicious Malayalam month of Kumbham, the festival is closely associated with Maha Shivaratri, a sacred night dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees from nearby villages and distant regions gather at the temple to take part in special poojas, abhishekams, and night-long prayers, seeking blessings for prosperity, peace and spiritual upliftment. The temple atmosphere during this period is charged with devotion marked by the chanting of sacred hymns and the fragrance of incense and flowers.
One of the most distinctive features of this celebration is the magnificent Kettukazhcha, a grand ceremonial display created through meticulous planning and traditional craftsmanship. Tall, colorful ceremonial structures are prepared by skilled artisans using age-old techniques, symbolizing devotion, unity, and artistic excellence. The visual splendor of the Kettukazhcha accompanied by traditional percussion instruments such as chenda and ilathalam creates an awe inspiring experience for devotees and visitors alike.
The festival days are also enriched with cultural and ritualistic events including Thrikodiyettu which marks the formal commencement of the festivities and Thiruarattu, the sacred ceremonial bath that signifies spiritual purification and the auspicious conclusion of the celebrations. These rituals are performed in strict adherence to temple customs preserving their sanctity and authenticity.
