The Arattupuzha Temple, situated in Arattupuzha within the Thrissur district of Kerala, serves as the focal point for this vibrant celebration.
Ekadashi
Ekadashi, a significant observance in both Vaishnavism and Shaivism, is revered by followers who offer worship to the deities Vishnu and Shiva.

Rooted in Sanatana Dharma practices, Ekadashi serves as a reminder of the path towards spiritual enlightenment and the importance of disciplined living.
