Dhara — Ettumanoor Mahadeva Temple
What This Remedy Does
Dhara at Ettumanoor Mahadeva Temple, in Kottayam district, Kerala, is a steady stream of water poured over the Shiva linga as mantras are chanted. The temple's priests offer it in your name, for up to four names with your gotra. The temple receipt or a confirmation reaches you on WhatsApp afterwards.
What is Dhara?
Dhara is a Kerala temple offering in which a steady stream of water flows onto the Shiva linga. The water falls from a vessel hung above the linga while mantras are chanted. Tradition says that Shiva, who holds the Ganga in his hair, loves abhishekam. Dhara is among the most common offerings to him across Kerala. At Ettumanoor it is offered to Ettumanoorappan, with your name, gotra and birth star, if shared, in the sankalp.
Why devotees book it
- A prayer for calm and peace of mind during an anxious or unsettled season of life
- A prayer for health, offered alongside medical care, for yourself or a family member
- Devotion to Shiva as Ettumanoorappan, through one of Kerala's most familiar temple offerings
- Thanksgiving to Shiva once a difficult time has passed or a hope is fulfilled
When to book
Devotees traditionally offer Dhara on Mondays, on Pradosham and on Shivaratri, all days sacred to Shiva. At Ettumanoor, the temple festival with its Ezharaponnana is also a season of deep devotion. The temple decides which dates it can accept, and our team confirms yours with you on WhatsApp.
