Samayapuram Flower Festival

Have you ever wondered what the 'Poochorithal Vizha' or the Poochorithal festival is all about? This 28-day long festival celebrated annually in ancient Tamil Month Maasi marks the showering of beautiful flowers upon arulmigu Mariamman as a sign of love and devotion. During this holy occasion, devotees offer raw salt, mavilakku (a sweet dish made of jaggery, rice flour and ghee) and also carry tons of fresh flower to circumnavigate the shrine from Kodimaram to the sanctum sanctorum. If you are looking for an unique way to celebrate your next trip to Tamil Nadu, plan it around this magical festivity! Join us today as we explore how people gather at Arulmigu Mariamman temple every Sunday during Poochorithal festival for their worship.
