Navarathri Festival
Navarathri Festival in Kerala is a soulful ten-day celebration dedicated to the worship of Goddess Saraswati, the deity of wisdom and arts. While observed nationwide, Kerala focuses on the final three days—Durgashtami, Mahanavami, and Vijayadashami.
A key tradition is Pooja Vayppu, where students and professionals place their books and tools before the Goddess for blessings. The festival culminates in Vidyarambham, a ritual where children are initiated into the world of letters by writing their first words in rice or sand. The Navarathri Mandapam in Thiruvananthapuram is a major hub, famous for its classical music concerts that have continued for centuries.
