Utsavam & Arattu – 12 May to 21 May 2022

The  Vaishaka Utsavam and Arattu of Thirukachamkurissi Perumal was  held between 12^th and 21^st May 2022, after a gap of two years, due to the pandemic.

As a result of this break in tradition, Prayaschithams – as directed by the Tantris – preceded  the  Utsavam.

A Festival Committee was  tasked with conducting the Prayaschithams and the Utsavam – an onerous mission, considering the finances of the temple had suffered greatly due to consistent Covid curbs in the area.

A host of special packages were created to tide over this crisis, and it was the hope of the Committee that the devotees of Perumal would, as always,  generously offer sponsorship for the various events, and thus play an axial role in the 10 day event.

The Committee was especially  happy to receive smaller contributions from devotees, for it was precisely  the abundance of such interest that heightened the energies of the festival and flooded it with joy  – inspite of the thoroughly inclement weather!
