Neelamperoor Patayani Festival


Neelamperoor Patayani (a ritual art form) is an annual event held at the Neelamperoor Palli Bhagavathy Temple at Alappuzha. Visiting the temple during the time of the patayani festival is a colourful treat to the eyes. The word patayani literally means rows of army. Though patayani is performed in a number of other temples in Kerala, the one held at Neelamperoor is unique with its Kettukazhcha (display of deftly decorated effigies). A grand procession of huge effigies of swans and other legendary and mythical characters are brought in. The colourful procession carrying the effigies of mythological characters like Bhima, Ravana, and Yakshi is a spectacular sight. This video, apart from capturing the alluring visuals of the festival, also gives an insight into the making of these spectacular effigies.
