In a rare event, the mysterious Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram , Kerala is all set to host a grand ritual after nearly 270 years! Yes, you read that right. This June, devotees will get an opportunity to be a part of a rare spiritual experience as an important series of rituals culminating in the Mahakumbhabhishekam on June 8 awaits!
Know all about it:
This sacred ceremony will take place between 7:40 am and 8:40 am and includes several elaborate rituals, attracting pilgrims and visitors from across the country.
Some of the prime highlights of the event include the Thazhikakudam installation (the ceremonial placing of the golden finial atop the temple), installation of a newly sculpted idol of Viswaksena, and the ashtabandham ritual (a traditional process of fixing the idol) at the shrine of Lord Sree Krishna. These rituals are of great significance and are part of a sequence following the devaprasnam (astrological temple assessment) held in August 2011.
Following the devaprasnam, the temple authorities discovered damage to the nearly 300-year-old idol of Viswaksena. Based on expert recommendations by temple thantri and vastu expert Kanippayyoor Krishnan Namboodiripad, a new idol was crafted by renowned sculptor Thirukoshtiyur Madhavan from Sivaganga, Tamil Nadu.
The rituals commence on June 2 and will be led by the temple's chief thantri Govindan Namboodiripad, alongside thantris Tharanelloor Pradeep Namboodiripad, Tharananelloor N.R. Satheeshan Namboodiripad, and Saji Namboodiripad.
In light of the special ceremonies, the temple has revised its darshan timings between June 2 and 8. Devotees planning a visit during this period should take note of the adjusted hours, which vary daily. On most days, early morning darshan starts at 3:30 am, with limited windows throughout the day to accommodate ritual activities. June 8 will have a brief darshan in the morning before rituals, with regular access resuming in the evening.
These unique events offer a rare opportunity for devotees and spiritual tourists to witness the grandeur of ancient temple traditions in real time. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early and respect temple protocols during this sacred period.
About Vault B
The Padmanabhaswamy Temple remains a mystery. The richest temple in India is home to secret underground vaults that were discovered in 2011. Among the six known vaults, Vault B remains still unopened, sparking widespread speculation. Legends claim it is protected by a powerful curse and divine guardians. Attempts to open it have been resisted by religious authorities, citing spiritual and supernatural consequences. The temple’s treasures, including gold, jewels, and ancient artifacts, add to its enigmatic aura!
