Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple Hosts Mahakumbhabhishekam Ceremony
Imagine a special religious event at the Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram!
This is called the Mahakumbhabhishekam, and it's happening on June 8th.
It's like a big celebration after the temple got fixed up, as the Supreme Court suggested.
They'll be putting up shiny golden domes, a tradition that hasn't happened in about 200 years.
The week before, they'll start some special cleaning rituals to get ready.
It's all very exciting and important for the temple and its followers.
The Mahakumbhabhishekam ceremony will be held on June 8.
The event follows renovation work recommended by the Supreme Court.
Golden domes (Thaazhikakudam) will be dedicated to the temple.
Purification ceremonies begin on June 2.
The last such event occurred nearly 200 years ago.
