Aranmula Valla Sadhya | Aranmula Temple Sadhya | ആറന്മുള വള്ള സദ്യ | Who can have Aranmula Sadhya?

Valla Sadhya or Aranmula Valla Sadhya is celebration just more than a banquet. It is obviously one of the world's largest vegetarian banquet that serves 63 to 68 items during the feast. ആറന്മുള വള്ള സദ്യ എന്നത് നമ്മുടെ കേരളത്തിലെ എന്നല്ല ലോകത്തിലെ തന്നെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ പച്ചക്കറി സദ്യകളിൽ ഒന്നാണ്. 63 മുതൽ 68 വരെ വിഭവങ്ങൾ വിളമ്പുന്ന വള്ള സദ്യ കൂടുവാൻ എനിക്കും ഒരവസരം കിട്ടി.

Aranmula Valla Sadhya is something that I wanted to experience for many years and it was only in 2019 I got this chance. A banquet that serves over 63 varieties of tastes on a banana leaf is something unusual and a must-try.
It is a custom and a celebration in Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala. During this celebration, boatmen are revered and welcomed. The mass feast also got some strong devotional attachments. The devotees consider the boat, or Palliyodam as it is called in Aranmula, as the divine vehicle of Lord Krishna or Parthasarathy. There are several boats in Aranmula and Valla Sadhya is offered to any of the boats as a "vazhipadu" or offering.
I got the chance to experience a complete valla sadhya, starting from the prayers to the cooking to the boat journey and the feast.
During my Valla Sadhya experience in Aranmula I stayed at Malakkarethu House, a homestay that is located on the Mavelikkara - Kozhencherry Highway in Aranmula.
