Divine trip to Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva Temple

The festivities at Thiruvairanikulam are a must-have experience.

The Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva Temple on the banks of the Periyar in Sreemoolanagaram near Aluva has a speciality. This Lord Siva Temple has a shrine for Goddess Parvathi which will be open for devotees only for 12 days a year. The Nadathurappu Mahothsavam happening every year on the Thiruvathira day of Malayalam month Dhanu, fell on January 11 this time. On the auspicious day, a grand procession starting from Akavoor Mana carries the sacred ornaments of the Lord and Goddess to the temple.
