Paricha Pandava (Panguni) Utsavam 2026 is one of the most celebrated and spiritually significant annual festivals held at Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Observed during the Malayalam month of Panguni, this grand festival attracts thousands of devotees, pilgrims and cultural enthusiasts from different parts of Kerala and beyond.
The festival is especially renowned for the majestic display of the Pancha Pandavas - Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva represented through towering ceremonial figures placed along the eastern entrance of the temple. Decorated with vibrant red attire, massive crowns and traditional weapons, these gigantic figures symbolize divine protection and valor during the festival period.
The celebrations begin with Kodiyettam marking the commencement of the ten day festival. Throughout the festival days, the temple premises become vibrant with sacred rituals, special poojas, Vedic chanting, traditional temple music and colorful processions. Devotees gather in large numbers to witness the divine ceremonies and seek blessings from Sree Padmanabha Swamy.
One of the major highlights of the festival is the grand Aarattu procession where the deities are ceremonially taken in a royal procession accompanied by traditional percussion ensembles, caparisoned elephants, temple priests and members associated with the royal heritage of Travancore. The spiritual atmosphere created during the festival reflects Kerala’s rich temple traditions, cultural heritage and deep rooted devotion.
