Vikaara nirbharamaaya oru Koodipiriyal koodi... #trichambaramtemple #festival #trichambaramulsavam The annual 14-day festival in the famous Trichambaram Temple is noted for Thidambu Nritham(a sort of dance with the dieties of Krishna & Balrama). The utsavam begins on the 22nd day of Kumbha Masam with the ceremonial flag hoisting (kodiyettam) and comes to end with Koodipirial ritual on 6th day Meena masam (20-03-2023) The main event during the festival revolves around the arrival of Balarama from Mazhoor Temple on the Flag hoisting day of the festival and finally his departure. On the first day, the image of Lord Balarama (elder brother of Bhagavan Krishna) is brought to the temple in a grand procession from nearby Dharmakulam temple. The festivals days are marked by the performance of the religious dance, Thidambu nritham, in front of Pookoth Nada in the temple. On the thirteenth day of annual festival, Pallivetta (holy hunt ceremony) takes place and the next day the ceremonial bath (aarattu) takes place. Finally, the heart touching 'Koodi Piriyal' ceremony (March 20, 2023) happens, which represents the parting💔 of the brothers Lord Krishna and Balarama. Peruvazhiyil Nritham a religious dance takes place during the time of parting of the brothers. Krishna seems reluctant to leave his Brother and at this moment a jar of milk is brought forward and upon seeing the overflowing milk Krishna follows the Gopala and the Mazhoor people escorts Balrama back to his Temple. It's a heart touching scene, everyone cries, even the Nature (there would be a slight drizzle as the nature too cries seeing the parting of the Brothers). . . . #trichambaram #taliparamba #festivalseason #hindu #krishna #balarama #brother #bonding #brotherhood #brotherlove #dance #celebration #customs #rituals #kannur #kannurdiaries #canon #canon6d #canonphotography #canon6dphotos #canon6dphotography #arjunrkrishnaphotography . . . @trichambaramambalam @trichambaram_varthaakal @trichambara_kaaran @trichysaathana @chanjutrichambaram @magic_anil @tricha.m @trichambaram_ups @byju_trichambaram @nikhil_nambiar_ @soorya_suvarnan @rashu_razak @g.p_ikaa @im___sonya_g_h @dhe_moongoddess @dr_nijisha_k (at Trichambaram Sreekrishna Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBBC80PHGe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
