Shivalaya ottam 2026 | சிவாலய ஓட்டம்

Shivalaya Ottam 2026 Chanting “Govinda Gopala”, thousands of devotees undertake the sacred Shivalaya Ottam during Maha Shivaratri by visiting the twelve Shiva temples of Kanyakumari district. It is believed that this holy run commemorates the legendary run of Bhimasena. 📅 Maha Shivaratri 2026: February 15 🪔 Devotees begin the Ottam on the previous evening after Deeparadhana. Legend After the Kurukshetra war, the Pandavas performed the Ashwamedha Yaga. Following Lord Krishna’s instruction, Bhimasena went to invite Sage Vyaghrapada. Krishna entrusted Bhima with twelve rudraksha beads. When Bhima chanted “Govinda Gopala” to awaken the sage, the Shaiva devotee became furious and chased him. During the chase, each rudraksha placed by Bhima turned into a Shiva Lingam, eventually becoming the twelve sacred temples. Finally, Lord Krishna appeared as Shankaranarayana, pacifying the sage.
