Mandalamasam & 41-Day Kalamezhuthu Pattu
One of the most spectacular and unique rituals in Kerala temple tradition—the 41-day continuous Kalamezhuthu Pattu is a mesmerizing art form that transforms our temple into a canvas of divine expression.
The Sacred Art:
Kalamezhuthu is the ancient practice of creating large, intricate drawings of deities on the temple floor using natural, colored powders. Our skilled Kallat Kurup creates fresh portraits of Devi and Veerabhadran every single day for 41 consecutive days.
Natural Colors Used:
- White: Rice powder
- Yellow: Turmeric
- Black: Charcoal from burnt paddy husk
- Green: Dried and ground leaves
- Red: Mixture of turmeric and lime
The Process:
On regular days, Devi is depicted with four hands. On special occasions, the kalam showcases eight hands, requiring hours of meticulous work. These intricate patterns are drawn purely by hand—no tools, only the artist's fingers and deep spiritual devotion.
The Ritual:
- Decorated with mounds of rice, fresh flowers, and garlands
- Illuminated by traditional oil lamps
- Accompanied by devotional hymns
- Nandurni (veena-like instrument) played during singing
- Immediately after worship, the kalam is ritually erased by Mootha Adigal using the kalam kollal chadangu
Opening Ceremony:
The Mandalamasam begins on Vrichikam 1st with the traditional Koorayidal ceremony, marking the start of this extraordinary 41-day spiritual journey.
