Dravya Kalasam — Vaikom Mahadeva Temple
What This Remedy Does
Dravya Kalasam at Vaikom Mahadeva Temple, Kottayam district, is an elaborate abhishekam for Shiva as Vaikathappan, booked in your name. The temple's priests consecrate sacred materials in kalasams and offer them with up to four names in the sankalp. When it is complete, you receive the temple receipt or a WhatsApp confirmation.
What is Dravya Kalasam?
Dravya Kalasam is a Kerala temple ritual in which sacred materials, the dravyas, are filled into kalasams, ceremonial pots. The priests consecrate the kalasams with mantras and then use them for the abhishekam, the ritual bathing, of the deity. It is a larger and more elaborate offering than a simple abhishekam. At Vaikom it is offered to Vaikathappan with your name, gotra and, if you share it, your birth star.
Why devotees book it
- Devotion to Shiva as Vaikathappan, expressed through one of Kerala's elaborate temple offerings
- A prayer for prosperity and lasting peace in the home and the family
- To fulfil a vow made to Vaikathappan during a time of need or worry
- Thanksgiving to Shiva after a prayer is answered or a family milestone is reached
When to book
Mondays and Pradosham are traditional days for this offering to Shiva, along with the temple's festival days. At Vaikom, the greatest of these is Vaikathashtami. The date depends on what the temple can accept, and our team confirms it with you on WhatsApp before your booking is processed.
