Shivarathri Mahotsavam and Amman Kodai at Sri Ayyarumadham Shiva Temple Trust in Puravoor, near Chirayinkeezhu in Thiruvananthapuram district is one of the most spiritually significant annual festivals observed by devotees of Lord Shiva and Muthumari Amman.
Rooted in centuries-old Veerashaiva traditions, the festival reflects the deep spiritual heritage, ritual discipline and cultural richness associated with this sacred temple.
The celebrations extend over several days and are marked by elaborate temple rituals conducted with great devotion. Daily poojas begin in the early hours with Nirmalya Darshan, Ganapathi Homam, Ushah Pooja and special abhishekams offered to Lord Shiva, including Jaladhara, Bhasmabhishekam, Kalabhabhishekam and Mrityunjaya Homam. Devotees believe these sacred offerings help attain peace of mind, spiritual purification and divine blessings. Special importance is given to the worship of Veerabhadra Swami and the serpent deities reflecting the temple’s unique spiritual identity.
Muthumari Amman worship forms a central part of the festivities. Rituals such as Pongala, Kumkuma Archana, Lemon Lamp offerings and Amman Thullal are conducted with immense faith especially by women devotees seeking prosperity, health and family well-being. The temple is widely known for fulfilling devotees’ wishes and the powerful presence of the Goddess is believed to protect the land and its people.
Maha Shivaratri, the most auspicious day of the festival is observed with night-long worship, fasting, meditation and chanting of sacred mantras. The atmosphere becomes intensely devotional as special poojas, homams, processions and traditional musical offerings take place throughout the day and night. Sopana Sangeetham, Panchavadyam, Neyyandi Melam, Villupattu and various ritual processions enhance the spiritual vibrancy of the occasion.
