Venue: Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram city, South Kerala.
Pallivetta (royal hunt) and Arattu (holy bath) are important rituals conducted during the festivals at some of the major temples of Kerala. The speciality of the Arattu at the Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple is that the head of the royal family of the erstwhile princely State of Travancore, still escorts the procession of idols during the tenday festival. Cultural programmes include Kathakali performances.
