Aaraattu Festival in Thiruvananthapuram
Aaraattu is a grand festival that takes place in Thiruvananthapuram and is celebrated at the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The festival is marked by a colourful procession where the idols of the temple are taken out and brought to the Shanghumugham Beach. The idols are then bathed in the sea and taken back to the temple. Witness the colourful procession and the rituals that follow. Aaraattu is a great choice for budget-conscious travellers as it is a free event and offers a unique cultural experience.
