Mohini Ekadashi

Mohini Ekadashi is a highly sacred observance celebrated at the Thrikkovil Sri Padmanabha Swami Temple, Vallikkode, in Pathanamthitta, Kerala. This auspicious day, observed on Shukla Paksha Ekadashi, holds great spiritual significance for devotees of Lord Vishnu. The festival is marked by deep devotion, traditional rituals and a serene temple atmosphere filled with divine vibrations.

On this special day, the celebrations begin from 7:00 AM onwards with the continuous chanting of the Narayaneeyam, a revered devotional composition dedicated to Lord Krishna. Devotees gather in large numbers to participate in prayers and seek blessings for peace, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment. The recitation continues throughout the day creating a powerful spiritual ambience within the temple premises.

In the evening, at around 6:00 PM, the temple hosts the grand Maha Ekadashi Deepa Aaradhana, a sacred lamp worship ceremony. This is followed by the majestic Garudavahana Procession, where the deity is taken out in a beautifully decorated ceremonial procession, symbolizing divine protection and grace.
