The Mahotsavam is observed over three days, combining devotion, spirituality and cultural heritage. The festival features a series of elaborate poojas, homams and abhishekams conducted by the temple Tantri and senior priests ensuring that each ritual adheres to traditional Vedic customs. Early morning rituals such as Palliyunarthal, Panchamrutha Abhishekam and Kalashapoojas provide devotees with a deeply immersive spiritual experience. Special homams like Ganapathi Homam, Tanjoyahomam, Mahamrityunjaya Homam and Sudarshana Havanam are performed to invoke divine blessings for prosperity, health and protection from negative energies.
Apart from the religious ceremonies, the festival also highlights cultural programs including devotional music, traditional dances and artistic performances reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. Annadanam is conducted daily providing nourishment to hundreds of devotees and emphasizing the spirit of sharing and service.
One of the most anticipated events of the festival is the grand Thalappoli and Kavadi processions, where decorated lamps and offerings are carried in a ceremonial journey accompanied by traditional musical ensembles. These processions create a mesmerizing spectacle uniting the community in celebration and devotion.
