Kalpathy Temple
The
Vishwanatha Swamy shrine, the oldest Shiva temple is situated 3 kms from Palakkad.
The annual chariot temple is a gala event. The annual 'Ratholsavam' or Chariot
Festival at Sree Viswanantha Swamy temple lasts for seven days.
On the last three days, beautifully decorated temple chariots are ceremoniously
drawn through the streets by thousands of devotees whose soul stirring chants
rent the air.
The festival is dominated by three magnificent chariots, bedecked with flowers
and flags, each sanctified by the presence of the lord.
Teeming crowds of people and millions of hands try to reach out to be one of
the privileged to have the honour of pulling the chariots, as they proceed in
stately grandeur.
