ലക്ഷദീപം 2026 ശ്രീ പദ്മനാഭസ്വാമി ക്ഷേത്രം തിരുവനന്തപുരം | Lakshadeepam 2026 Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple Trivandrum
Lakshadeepam is one of the most magnificent and visually stunning festivals celebrated at Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum, Kerala. The festival is renowned for its grand illumination, where over three lakh oil lamps are lit creating a mesmerizing spectacle that attracts devotees and tourists from all over the world.
This festival holds immense religious significance as lighting the lamps is considered an offering to Lord Padmanabhaswamy and a way to seek his blessings for prosperity, health, and spiritual well-being.
The preparations for Lakshadeepam begin weeks in advance with temple authorities coordinating arrangements for the lighting of lamps, decoration of the sanctum sanctorum and management of the massive crowds that gather for the occasion. In 2026, to ensure smooth conduct and crowd control the temple has introduced a barcode based pass system allowing 15,000 devotees to participate in the festival with ease and safety. This modern initiative combines tradition with contemporary management to maintain order without compromising the sanctity of the event.
During the festival, devotees engage in special prayers, offerings and rituals. The temple premises are beautifully decorated with flowers, traditional lamps and colorful illuminations creating a divine ambiance. The entire city of Trivandrum resonates with devotional songs, chanting and the spiritual energy of thousands of participants. Lakshadeepam is not only a religious celebration but also a cultural event that showcases Kerala’s rich heritage, devotion and community spirit.
