Chettikulangara Bharani
Would you miss a chance to enjoy one of the most amazing visual and cultural treats of Kerala? If no, then make sure you are here for the renowned Chettikulangara Bharani, the annual festival held at the Chettikulangara temple during the Malayalam month of Kumbham (February-March). The festival and the temple are dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathy.
What makes the
festival stand out among the other festivals of Kerala is a spectacular event
called Kettukazhcha, a ceremonious procession of brightly decorated structures.
The dazzlingly decorated structures; the bigger ones assumed as horses and the
smaller ones as chariots, and cultural performances are the highlights of this
spectacular pageant. These architectural and aesthetic marvels would certainly
etch a remarkable artistic impression on the minds of the spectators,
especially at night when the arena is illuminated by colourful lights.
Kettukazhcha is an offering of the people to the deity, and stand testimony to
the architectural and aesthetic expertise of the people of this region. The
chariots proceed from different points in the village, representing that
particular region, and demonstrate the harmony that is there in these hamlets.
