Ashtabandham Chaarthi Kalashaabhishekam at Arappura Sree Maha Ganapathy Temple is one of the most sacred and revered events celebrated at this renowned temple in Trivandrum.

This ritual is carried out with utmost devotion and precision by the temple priests guided by the traditional Vedic scriptures and age old practices. The process is accompanied by chanting of mantras, devotional hymns and music that elevates the spiritual ambiance of the temple.
During the festival, devotees from near and far gather at the temple to participate in the rituals, offer prayers and seek the blessings of Lord Ganapathy. The atmosphere is imbued with devotion, reverence, and a sense of community, as families and devotees come together to celebrate the sacred occasion. The festival also features various cultural and devotional programs including bhajans and other traditional art forms that reflect Kerala’s rich heritage and spiritual traditions.
Participating in the Ashtabandham Chaarthi Kalashaabhishekam is considered highly auspicious, bringing prosperity, peace and spiritual upliftment to devotees. It provides a unique opportunity for devotees to witness the sanctity of the rituals firsthand, experience the divine energy of the temple and strengthen their faith in the timeless traditions of Hindu worship.
