Onam Festival - The 10 day Onam
festival is kerala's most important
festival, honouring King Mahabali, a
mythological king of ancient Kerala, whose
period was reckoned as the golden age in the
history of the state. He was the embodiment
of virtues, goodness, so was his regime
which was marked by equality and harmony
among people.
Thrissur Pooram - The most
spectacular spectacle in the state. This
festival was introduced by Sakthan Thampuran,
the Maharaja of erstwhile Kochi state.
Celebrated in Medom (April-May) the festival
parades the fulgent faces of Kerala culture.
With every passing year Tthrissur Pooram,
the temple festival, attracts large masses
of devotees and spectators.
Aranmula Uthrittathi - The famous
snake boat carnival on the Pampa, held
annually at Aranmula on the day of
Uthrittathi asterism, in connection with the
Onam festival is to commemorate the crossing
of the river by Lord Krishna on that day.
The deity is supposed to be in all the boats
that take part in the carnival and all of
them are expected to arrive a t their
destination simultaneously.
Easter is the oldest Christian festival, as
old as Christianity itself. The central
tenet of Christianity is not the birth of
Jesus, but his resurrection. Easter is
derived from this paschal mystery and from
the events of Good Friday.
Thiruvathira Festival - The festival
falls on the asterism Thiruvathira in the
Malayalam month of Dhanu (December-January).
On thiruvathira morning, devotees throng
Shiva temples for an early worship which is
reckoned as highly auspicious.
Tradition says thiruvathira is celebrating
the death of Kamadeva, the mythological God
of Love. According to another version,
Thiruvathira is the birthday of Lord Shiva.
The festival has similarities to adra
darshan celebrated in Tamil Nadu.
Idul-Fitr, of late known by the misnomer
'Ramadan' is one of the two festivals of
Islam. Ramadan is the ninth month of the
lunar year. During this month the Muslims
observe fast, giving up all kinds of food
and drink during day time, and spend the
major part of the night in devotion and
prayer.
Makaravillakku at Sabarimala - For
centuries, Sabarimala in Pathanamthitta has
been a major pilgrim centre attracting lakhs
of devotees from all over India, more so
from southern States. The presiding deity is
Lord Ayyappa known as Dharma Sastha, a
considered symbol of unity between
Vaishnavites and Saivites. Darma Sastha is
believed to have fulfilled his mission in
life and rejoined his Supreme Self,
enshrined at Sabarimala.
Vishu- The Malayalam new year is
celebrated by bursting crackers and going to
temple. |
