FESTIVALS


“Utsavam” is for the restoration of divine “Chaithanyam” of Deity, by performing necessary purification and energization rituals. Culturally, it consists of various processions, illumination, fireworks, art-forms, etc. Evoor “Utsavam” lasts for ten days. Beginning is on the first day of ‘Makaram’ (January). It ends after the “Aaaraattu” (Holy Bath). All ten days, the place wears a festive look, streets dressed up with arches, festoons, etc. Every building is tastefully decorated with lights, plantain trunks, bunches of coconut and areca nuts. It starts with “Kotiyettam ” (Flag Hoisting) by the Tantri. The events of first five days are sponsored jointly by Travancore Devaswom board and specific groups of devotees. Three ‘Karas’ (villages) namely Evoor South, Evoor North and Evoor North-West conduct the events of days 7 , 8 and 9 respectively. Each ‘Kara’ competes with others to make own “ Utsavam” the best. The Utsavam ends on the tenth day with a lot of rituals.
