All arrangements are in place for the Kumbha Bharani festival at the Chettikulangara Devi temple, near Mavelikara, on Monday.
The rituals and pujas in connection with the festival, which started from Shivaratri, will reach its crescendo on the festival day with the ‘Kuthiyottam' performances and the ‘Kettukazcha' pageant.
The Chettikulangara Devi temple has the Goddess Bhadrakali as the main deity and is believed to be over 1,200 years old. People who offered ‘Kuthiyottam’ performances to the deity have trained boys to dance to a particular rhythm. The 'Kuthiyottam' procession will reach the temple at 6 a.m.
