ഹരിപ്പാട്ക്ഷേത്രം യഥാർത്ഥ ചരിത്രം|Haripad Sree Subrahmanya Swami Temple | Kshethra Puranam Malayalam description : The Sree Subrahmanya Swamy Temple also known as Kerala Palani or Dakshina Palani (Southern Palani) located in Haripad Kerala is one of the oldest and largest temples in the region. According to tradition the temple predates the beginning of Kali Yuga. This temple holds the distinction of being the largest Subrahmanya Swamy Temple in Kerala and features the longest golden flagpost known as the dhwajastambha or kodimaram in Malayalam. The temple's main deity is believed to embody not only Subrahmanya Swamy but also Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu- making it a highly revered and powerful place of worship. Early history Legend has it that the idol of the temple was previously used by Parasurama for worship and was later discovered in the Govindamuttom backwaters of Kandanalloor. It is said that all the landlords of Eakachakra then Haripad, simultaneously had visions of the idol leading them to find it in Kayamkulam Lake. The idol was brought ashore at Nelpurakadavu. To commemorate its retrieval the Vigraha Labdhi Jalolsavam festival is conducted in the Payippad River for three days after Thiruvonam. The temple was consecrated on the Pushya nakshatra (constellation) of Makara Masa which is annually celebrated as the founding day of the temple. It is believed that Lord Vishnu appeared as a saint to consecrate the temple which led to the name Harigeethapuram for the present-day Haripad. In the Malayalam year 1096, the temple suffered a fire, but the golden flag mast and the Koothambalam were fortunately saved. During the reign of King Sree Chithira Thirunal Rama Varma, the temple was rebuilt, and the golden flag mast was reinstalled. Primary deity The presiding deity of the temple is Karthikeya in his four-armed form. The idol holds the divine spear Vel in one hand and a Vajrayudha (thunderbolt) in another with one hand bestowing blessings and the other touching its thighs. According to belief the idol embodies the presence of Vishnu Shiva and Brahma. The idol stands at approximately six feet in height and is installed facing towards the east. Other deities Besides the main deity there are many other deities, including Lord Dakshinamooorthy Lord Ganesh Thiruvambadi Kannan Nāga Shastaand Keezhthrikkovil Subrahmanyan. Temple description The temple features four gopurams (ornate entrance towers). A dhwajastambha (golden flag mast) adorns the eastern side of the temple. The sanctum sanctorum is round in shape. Additionally the temple compound houses a Koothambalam which is the third largest of its kind among Kerala temples. The temple premises serve as a sanctuary for peacocks the vahana (animal mount) of Murugan. Notably the temple pond known as Perumkulam is one of the largest temple ponds in Kerala, covering approximately five acres. Festivals The Sree Subrahmanya Swamy Temple has some unique features that distinguish it from other temples. One notable aspect is the observance of three kodiyettu (hoisting the dhvaja or flag on the dhwajastambha) utsavas in a calendar year. These festivals follow the Tamil calendar. The Utsava Trayam comprises the Avani Utsavam in Chingom Markazhi Utsavam in Dhanu and Chithira Utsavam in Medom. Each of these festivals is dedicated to a different deity, with Lord Vishnu being worshipped in Avani Lord Shiva in Markazhi and Lord Subrahmanya in Chithira. Among these celebrations the annual Chithira Thiruvulsavam festival holds particular significance. Apart from the Utsava Trayam the temple also observes other important festivals such as Thrikkarthika in Vrischikam Prathishta day in Idavam Skanda Ashthami in Thulam Navarathri in Kanni and Thaipooyam.
