त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Onam and the vallam kali season | Chingam (August–September) | Ten days ending in Thiruvonam, marked by the pookkalam flower carpet, the sadya and — in this region specifically — a run of boat races, because Onam falls when the rivers are still high enough to row on. |
| Nehru Trophy Boat Race | August, traditionally the second Saturday, though the date has moved in some years | Chundan vallams over thirty metres long, each rowed by about a hundred oarsmen from one village, over a course on Punnamada Lake at Alappuzha. It began after Jawaharlal Nehru was rowed across the backwater in 1952 and afterwards presented a trophy; since 2019 it has also been a leg of the Champions Boat League. |
| Aranmula Uthrattadhi Vallamkali | Uthrattadhi, the day after Thiruvonam | Not a race in the ordinary sense. The palliyodams of the surrounding karas are rowed up the Pamba to the Parthasarathy temple to the beat of vanchipattu, as an offering; the boats belong to the deity and finishing order is secondary to the procession. |
| Champakulam Moolam Vallamkali | Moolam asterism in Mithunam (June–July) | The oldest of the Pamba boat races, tied to the tradition of the Ambalappuzha temple's idol being brought by water from Kurichi, and the event that opens the season each year. |
| Payippad Jalotsavam | Three days from Thiruvonam | A boat procession and race on the Payippad lake at Haripad, run over three consecutive days at Onam. |
| Sabarimala Mandala and Makaravilakku season | Mid-November to 14 January | Forty-one days of Mandala pooja followed by Makaravilakku, during which pilgrim traffic reshapes the roads, trains and markets of the whole Pathanamthitta and Kottayam belt, and aravana payasam production at the shrine runs continuously. |
| Attukal Pongala | Kumbham (February–March) | Several hundred thousand women cook rice, jaggery and coconut in earthen pots in the open streets around the Attukal temple at Thiruvananthapuram on a single morning, occupying the city's roads for kilometres in every direction. It is among the largest single gatherings of women anywhere in the world. |
| Chettikulangara Bharani | Bharani in Kumbham (February–March) | Kettukazhcha — enormous decorated chariot and horse effigies, some of them tens of metres tall, built by each kara over weeks and dragged to the temple ground on the day. The effigies are structural engineering as offering. |
| Kadammanitta Padayani | Ten days from Vishu in Medam (April) | The best-known padayani, running through consecutive nights with a rising sequence of kolams and ending in the Bhairavi kolam before dawn. |
| Ochira Kali | Mithunam 1 and 2 (mid-June) | Men in mock battle formation, with shield and sword, in a flooded field at the Ochira Padanilam temple — a shrine with no idol and no roof, dedicated to the formless Parabrahma. |
| Swathi Sangeethotsavam | January | A week of Carnatic music in the grounds of Kuthiramalika, performing only Swathi Thirunal's own compositions. |
