The Kumbha Bharani Thookam Mahotsavam at Ooruttukala Sree Bhadrakali Devi Temple, Trivandrum is one of the most revered and spectacular festivals in Kerala celebrated with immense devotion and traditional fervor.
This festival is dedicated to Bhadrakali, the fierce and protective form of the Goddess who is believed to safeguard her devotees from evil forces and bring prosperity and well being to the community. The festival is deeply rooted in centuries old rituals and cultural practices attracting devotees from across the state and beyond.
The celebrations begin with elaborate preparations within the temple premises where the deity is adorned with beautiful decorations and ceremonial offerings. Devotees actively participate in various rituals including special poojas, abhishekams and chanting of sacred hymns dedicated to the Goddess.
The highlight of the festival is the Thookam ritual, a traditional act of devotion where devotees express their reverence and surrender through symbolic offerings and ceremonial suspension invoking the blessings of the Goddess. This ritual is accompanied by powerful drumbeats, devotional songs and vibrant traditional music that fill the temple grounds with spiritual energy.
Throughout the festival, the temple hosts a series of cultural programs, folk performances and art forms that showcase the rich heritage of Kerala. Traditional dances, musical performances and processions create a lively and sacred atmosphere fostering community participation and devotion. Devotees also engage in charitable acts such as annadanam to honor the Goddess and serve the needy.
