What is Chettikulangara Kettukazhcha?
The Chettikulangara Kettukazhcha is the breathtaking highlight of the annual Chettikulangara Bharani festival, held at the historic Chettikulangara Bhagavathy Temple in Alappuzha, Kerala. It is a profound offering of devotion by the people (known as ‘Karas’) to the Goddess Bhagavathy.
Imagine towering, ornate structures—some reaching up to 75 to 100 feet! These are the ‘Kuthiras’ (Horses) and ‘Therus’ (Chariots), along with gigantic effigies of the epic characters Bhima and Hanuman, all meticulously sculpted, decorated, and pulled on wheeled platforms by hundreds of devotees.
This incredible display of collective artistry, traditional craftsmanship, and spiritual fervor is a sight that rivals the grandeur of festivals like Thrissur Pooram and is currently under consideration for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status.
