Sree Padmanabha Swami Temple :Arattu

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.
