The Kottankulangara Chamayavilakku is a unique annual Hindu festival held at the Kottankulangara Devi Temple in Kollam, where thousands of men dress as women as an act of devotion to Goddess Bhagavathy. Devotees, regardless of age, don traditional female attire such as Set Sarees, Pattu Sarees, Half Sarees, or even dance costumes, symbolizing their surrender to the Goddess. The temple premises come alive with lamps, music, and prayers, creating an aura of deep spiritual significance. This extraordinary festival stands as a testament to Kerala\u2019s diverse cultural heritage and inclusive traditions.<\/p>\n
