Ashwathi Vilakku 2026 – Chirakkara Sree Bhagavathi Temple
With heartfelt devotion and reverence, prayers resound “Amme Narayana, Devi Narayana” as devotees gather to offer salutations at the Chirakkara Sree Bhagavathi Temple, Chirakkara P.O., Kollam. As part of the sacred festival observances, the temple will host the auspicious Ashwathi Vilakku on Sunday, 22 February 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM.
Ashwathi Vilakku is a spiritually significant ritual dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathi, symbolizing the illumination of divine energy, protection, and grace. The ceremonial lighting of lamps represents the removal of darkness and negativity, inviting prosperity, peace, and blessings into devotees’ lives.
From the early evening hours, the temple atmosphere becomes vibrant with devotion. Rows of traditional oil lamps (vilakku) glow across the temple premises, creating a mesmerizing visual of sacred light. Devotees participate in prayers and offerings, seeking the compassionate blessings of the Goddess.
The ritual is accompanied by devotional chants and traditional temple music, enhancing the divine ambiance. Families, elders, and young devotees assemble together, reflecting unity, faith, and cultural continuity. Ashwathi Vilakku is not merely a ritual but an emotional and spiritual experience deeply rooted in Kerala’s temple traditions.
This sacred offering is lovingly presented by CASC Chirakkara, extending warm Utsava Aashamsakal (festival greetings) to all devotees and well-wishers. The occasion serves as a reminder of collective devotion and the enduring spiritual heritage of Chirakkara.
Devotees are warmly invited to attend the Ashwathi Vilakku and immerse themselves in an evening of prayer, serenity, and divine blessings.
