Thirukodiyettu Mahotsavam
The Thirukodiyettu Mahotsavam at Aryasala Devi Temple, located in Thiruvananthapuram, is a revered annual festival that reflects the deep rooted spiritual traditions of Kerala. Celebrated from 12 April 2026 to 19 April 2026, this sacred festival attracts a large number of devotees who gather to seek the blessings of the divine Goddess and participate in the vibrant rituals.
The festival begins with the Thirukodiyettu marking the auspicious commencement of the celebrations. Each day is filled with special poojas, abhishekams, and deeparadhana, performed with strict adherence to traditional temple customs. The temple atmosphere becomes spiritually charged with devotional chants, music and rituals.
One of the major highlights is the Pallivetta, a symbolic divine hunt that signifies the triumph of good over evil, followed by the grand Aarattu ceremony, where the deity is taken in a sacred procession for ritual bathing. Cultural and devotional programs, including bhajans and traditional performances, are also conducted during the festival.
