ശഷ്തി വ്രതം 2026 ശ്രീ ബാല സുബ്രഹ്മണ്യ സ്വാമി ക്ഷേത്രം തിരുവനന്തപുരം | Shasti Viratham 2026 Sree Bala Subramanya Swamy Temple Trivandrum
Shasti Viratham is one of the most sacred and eagerly anticipated festivals dedicated to Lord Subrahmanya and at the Sree Bala Subramanya Swamy Temple in Trivandrum it is celebrated with profound devotion and vibrant rituals.
The festival falls on the sixth day of the lunar fortnight and is observed with great reverence by devotees seeking the blessings of Lord Subrahmanya for prosperity, courage, and spiritual growth.
During the festival, the temple comes alive with a series of religious ceremonies and cultural programs that draw devotees from across Kerala and neighboring states. Devotees undertake fasting and participate in special poojas conducted by the temple priests which include the chanting of sacred mantras, abhishekam and alankaram. These rituals are believed to purify the mind, body and soul and establish a deep spiritual connection with the deity.
A key highlight of the festival is the Kavadi offering, a traditional act of devotion where devotees carry beautifully decorated structures as an expression of penance and reverence to Lord Subrahmanya. The temple also organizes devotional bhajans, keerthans and chanting sessions that create a serene and spiritually uplifting atmosphere. In the evenings, the temple premises resonate with the sound of conch shells, bells and the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments during the grand aarti ceremonies.
