Ganesh Chathurti Celebrations


Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the destroyer of obstacles. This year Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated on 17th September, 2015. 

The procession began in the morning after Ganapathy Homam and morning pujas with Majestic elephants decorated with Gold plated Forehead ornament (Nettipattom) and further adorned with bells and necklaces, with temple priest holing Ganesh vigraha and temple volunters who held silk parasols (muthukuda) and sway large while yak tail whisks (Venchamaram) and large peacock feather fans(Aalavatom) along with the rhythm of the Panchavadyam.

Thepparadhotsavam was a treat to watch. The illumination of the temple, and Grand fire works in the night was spectacular.
