Sree Padmanabha Swami Temple, Thiruvananthapuram city
Pallivetta (royal hunt) and Arattu (holy bath) are part of the rituals
of the festival of some of the major temples of Kerala. The speciality
of the Arattu (which falls on April 1 this year) at the Sree Padmanabha
Swami Temple is that the head of the royal family of the erstwhile
princely state of Travancore, still provides escort to the procession
of idols during the ten-day festival.
