Tales of Tradition at Sukrutham Farmstay

Step into the living heritage of Kerala as Sukrutham Farmstay proudly presents four sacred temple traditions celebrated every year during January–February, with special festivities on 5th February 2026.

This video captures the soul of these age-old rituals performed at our ancestral home — where devotion, music, and culture come alive.

🌾 Parayeduppu
A sacred ritual where devotees offer paddy measured in a traditional vessel called para. Temple representatives bring the ceremonial items to each household, allowing families to perform the ritual at home and receive divine blessings. Parayeduppu symbolises the Lord’s presence in every home and invites devotees to the upcoming Ulsavam celebrations.

🥁 Panchavadyam
An iconic Kerala temple orchestra featuring five instruments —
Timila, Maddalam, Ilathalam, Idakka & Kombu.
This powerful ensemble follows a pyramid-style rhythm pattern where tempo rises while beats reduce, creating an electrifying spiritual experience.

🐘 Kootiezhunnellippu
A majestic elephant procession after temple pradakshinam.
Witness rows of beautifully adorned elephants with golden nettipattams, peacock feather fans (venchamaram) and colourful umbrellas (muthukuda), accompanied by vibrant percussion performances of panchavadyam and pandimelam.

🔥 Theyyam
A divine ritual art form from North Malabar, where performers transform into living deities.
Blending worship, dance, music, and sacred painting, Theyyam is a deeply spiritual experience that connects devotees to ancient traditions.
