Mullikkulangara Shivaratri Mahotsavam 2026
Kavadiyattam Organized by Devi Kshethra Yuvajana Samithi
Mullikkulangara Shivaratri Mahotsavam is a spiritually significant annual festival observed with devotion and traditional fervor. In 2026, the Shivaratri celebrations will be held on Sunday, February 15, coinciding with the sacred night dedicated to Lord Shiva. The festival is organized under the leadership of the Devi Kshethra Yuvajana Samithi, with special emphasis on Kavadiyattam, a deeply devotional offering performed by dedicated devotees.
Spiritual Importance of Shivaratri
Shivaratri holds immense importance in Hindu tradition, symbolizing spiritual awakening, self-discipline, and devotion to Lord Shiva. Devotees observe fasting, engage in prayers, chant sacred mantras, and participate in temple rituals throughout the day and night. It is believed that sincere worship on Shivaratri brings inner purification, peace, and divine blessings.
Kavadiyattam – A Sacred Offering
One of the key highlights of the Mullikkulangara Shivaratri Mahotsavam is Kavadiyattam. Kavadiyattam is a sacred ritual offering undertaken by devotees as an act of penance, gratitude, or fulfillment of vows. Carrying the kavadi is considered a powerful expression of devotion, symbolizing surrender and faith in the divine.
The kavadi procession is usually accompanied by devotional chants, rhythmic music, and collective prayers, creating a spiritually charged atmosphere. Devotees believe that participating in Kavadiyattam on Shivaratri enhances spiritual merit and brings blessings for health, prosperity, and well-being.
Role of Devi Kshethra Yuvajana Samithi
The Devi Kshethra Yuvajana Samithi plays an important role in organizing the festival and coordinating the Kavadiyattam arrangements. Their efforts ensure that rituals are conducted in a disciplined and traditional manner while providing proper guidance to devotees who wish to participate. The involvement of the youth association reflects community unity and dedication toward preserving temple traditions.
