Join us on this reading venture to know more about Chettikulangara Bharani:<\/span><\/p>\n

Chettikulangara Bharani:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chettikulangara Bharani,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>also known as<\/span> Kumbha Bharani<\/span><\/strong>, is one of the famous temple festivals in\u00a0<\/span>Kerala<\/span><\/strong>, celebrated with great religious fervour at the renowned\u00a0<\/span>Chettikulangara Sree Bhagavathy Temple<\/span><\/strong>, near <\/span>Mavelikara <\/span><\/strong>in\u00a0<\/span>Alleppey<\/span><\/strong> district. Every year, it is observed on the Bharani asterism in the month of Kumbham according to the Malayalam calendar, which mainly falls between the months of February and March.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chettikulangara Bharani<\/span><\/strong> is actually a post-harvest float festival, often held as a thanksgiving to\u00a0<\/span>Goddess Bhadrakali<\/span><\/strong> for the richest harvest gathered and protection from calamities and diseases. This extraordinary festival presents a spectacular blend of culture, art, architecture, and the dedicated human endeavour of over 50,000 people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Highlights of Chettikulangara Bharani:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chettikulangara Bharani Festival<\/span><\/strong> commences on the day of\u00a0<\/span>Maha Shivratri\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and concludes on the Bharani day. It is organised on behalf of 13 ‘karas’ or regions that comprise the town of\u00a0<\/span>Chettikulangara<\/span><\/strong>. The entire town comes to life, and the festive fervour and merriment cover its landscape during the festival time. The main highlights of\u00a0<\/span>Chettikulangara Bharani<\/span><\/strong> are the\u00a0\u2018<\/span>Kuthiyottam\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and\u00a0\u2018<\/span>Kettukazhcha\u2019<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A unique blend of dance, music and ritual,\u00a0<\/span>Kuthiyottam<\/span><\/strong> is considered a symbolic human sacrifice to appease Goddess Kali. The person who took an oath to offer\u00a0<\/span>Kuthiyottam<\/span><\/strong> adopts two or four pre-pubescent boys who are symbolically sacrificed. They are adopted on the day of\u00a0<\/span>Maha Shivaratri <\/span><\/strong>and are brought to the sponsor’s house, where a canopy is erected, and a shrine of <\/span>Goddess Kali<\/span><\/strong> is constructed. Then they are taught the basic steps of\u00a0<\/span>Kuthiyottam\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>by trained performers.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the day of <\/span>Chettikulangara Bharani Festival<\/span><\/strong>, the boys are dressed up as Kings with a paper crown, bangles, etc, and their abdominal skin is pierced with silver or golden thread. This ritual is known as Chooral (cane) Muriyal (cut), as cane threads were used instead of golden threads in olden days. They are then taken to the temple, accompanied by a pompous procession, where in front of the sanctum sanctorum they perform the steps taught to them to four songs sung in praise of the Goddess. The thread is then removed and offered to the Goddess.\u00a0<\/span>Kuthiyottam<\/span><\/strong> is a one-time ritual in their life for these boys, as they are ritually dead now and may not take part in <\/span>Kuthiyottam <\/span><\/strong>again. Sumptuous community feasts are served thrice a day at the sponsor’s house as part of the festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kettukazhcha<\/span><\/strong> is the ceremonial procession of colourful and brightly decorated giant structures embellished with cloth, flowers, and ornaments. It is regarded as an offering to the Goddess for the favours received and to seek her blessings. The spectacular\u00a0<\/span>Kettukazhcha\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>displays six gigantic temple cars known as \u2018<\/span>Kuthira<\/span><\/strong>\u2019 (horse motifs), five \u2018<\/span>Theru<\/span><\/strong>\u2019 (chariots), and mammoth idols of\u00a0<\/span>Bheema, Hanuman\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and<\/span> Panchali<\/span><\/strong>, which are drawn to the\u00a0<\/span>Chettikulangara Bhagavathy Temple<\/span><\/strong> from the 13 \u2018karas\u2019 or regions of\u00a0<\/span>Chettikulangara<\/span><\/strong>. These huge structures are constructed by thousands of people from the region, who work together tirelessly to create the 90 to 100 feet tall structures, which show the architectural and aesthetic expertise of the people of <\/span>Chettikulangara<\/span><\/strong> as well as the harmony between them. The vibrant <\/span>Kettukazhcha procession<\/span><\/strong> is accompanied by ritual folk arts like\u00a0<\/span>Padayani, Ammankudam Kolkali<\/span><\/strong>, and<\/span> Kuthiyottam.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over half a million people participate in the fabulous\u00a0<\/span>Chettikulangara Bharani Festival<\/span><\/strong> with passion and devotion. Tourists from different parts of the world also join in this colourful and vibrant celebration. And the amazing\u00a0<\/span>Kettukazcha<\/span><\/strong> procession and the unique rituals are sure to leave them in surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n
