AYYAPPAN VILAKKU IS A POPULAR RITUAL ORGANISED IN TEMPLES AS WELL AS HOUSES AND COMMON PLACES TO PLEASE AND GET THE BLESSINGS OF LORD AYYAPPA. The whole day ritual includes craftsmanship, Bhajan, procession etc. This is conducted during the main pilgrimage season of Sabarimala. The artists are trained professionals. By dawn the artists create miniature temples for the deities Lord Ayyappan, Lord Vavar, the Muslim warrior who became a close friend, Goddess Bhagavathy etc. using the stem of banana plant and tender fronds of the coconut tree. After installation of the deities, the main programme is a ritual procession in the late afternoon, ladies carrying lamp, drum beats and Udukkukotti pattu (folksongs) etc. In some places Panchavadyam (traditional orchestra with five musical instruments), caparisoned elephants will be the added attractions. The ritualistic dance performance by oracles (velichappadukal) in accordance with the rhythmic drum beats of Chenda and Udukku is the most spectacular show of this event.By night Ayyappan Pattu begins.
