Sivaratri @ Ayyappa Temple- Bhiwadi


ശിവഭക്തർക്ക് വളരെ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഉത്സവമായ മഹാശിവരാത്രി ഫാൽഗുന മാസത്തിലെ കൃഷ്ണപക്ഷത്തിലെ പതിമൂന്നാം രാത്രിയും പതിനാലാം പകലുമാണ് ആഘോഷിക്കുന്നത്. *XEJfU[NL ഇലകൾ ശിവന് അർപ്പിക്കുന്നതും ഉപവാസമനുഷ്ടിക്കുന്നതും രാത്രി ഉറക്കമിളക്കുന്നതുമൊക്കെയാണ് ദിവസത്തെ പ്രധാന ആചാരങ്ങൾ. ശിവലിംഗങ്ങളെ പാലും തേനുംകൊണ്ട് അഭിഷേകം ചെയത് അവയെ ആരാധിക്കുന്ന പതിവുമുണ്ട്.

Starting a house construction in Kerala



Not Bhoomi Pooja . This is only " Kuttiyadikkal"

Bhoomi Pooja a function normally conducted by North Indians was carried out at site in presence of land owners and their relatives as the first activity related to construction at site.Some how I have never seen people in Kerala conducting  this pooja in connection with house construction.
I remember pooja conducted along with ‘Kuttiyadikkal’ (I don't know the correct name) ceremony when starting construction of house for our neighbour (Mr.Manu) at Kalluvathukkal (Kollam Distt, Kerala) one week back.Pictures taken at the time  of   pooja attached



Manu, he is the land owner

A house is not merely a space between the four walls or a mix of concrete or bricks, but has an identity of its own that should reflect the personalities living in it. For every Keralite, a home is a life time ambition and achievement
