വാർഷിക മഹോത്സവം 2026 കുണ്ടമൺഭാഗം ശ്രീ ഭദ്രകാളി ക്ഷേത്രം തിരുവനന്തപുരം | Varshika Mahotsavam 2026 Kundamanbhagam Sree Bhadrakaali Temple Trivandrum
The Varshika Mahotsavam at Kundamanbhagam Sree Bhadrakaali Temple in Trivandrum is one of the most vibrant and spiritually enriching festivals in Kerala. This annual celebration draws devotees from across the region to witness a unique blend of ritualistic worship, cultural performances and community devotion all centered around the divine presence of Goddess Bhadrakali.
The festival is renowned for its elaborate ceremonial activities, each carrying deep symbolic significance and reflecting centuries old traditions that have been preserved with devotion and reverence.
The festival begins with the ceremonial raising of the deity’s crown known as Thirumudi and tying it in a ritual called Kaappu marking the formal commencement of the celebrations. Throughout the festival period, the temple comes alive with a variety of spiritual and cultural programs. Devotees participate in Pongala, a special offering of sweet rice to the goddess, while women and young girls lead this ritual in a display of faith and devotion. Kuthiyottam, a traditional ritual dance performed by young male devotees, and Thalappoli, where women carry decorated plates with lamps and flowers create a spectacular visual procession filling the temple premises with devotional fervor and colors.
In addition to the rituals, the Mahotsavam hosts daily poojas, Kalankaval processions, devotional music programs and performances that include Thiruvathirakali and other traditional dances, blending devotion with cultural artistry. Streets near the temple are adorned with decorations and lighting enhancing the festive atmosphere. The festival also emphasizes community participation, with devotees coming together to sponsor meals, ritual offerings and musical performances.
It provides devotees with an opportunity to seek blessings for prosperity, protection and well being while immersing themselves in the rich heritage of Kerala’s temple festivals. The combination of devotion, ritual grandeur and cultural vibrancy makes this festival a truly unforgettable experience for everyone who attends.
