Mullakkal Temple, Hindu temple in Alappuzha, Kerala
The Mullakkal Temple displays traditional Kerala architectural elements, including an open-roofed inner sanctum and a surrounding garden filled with jasmine plants.
The temple originated when soldiers brought a goddess idol to a jasmine garden, leading King Devanarayana of Chembakasserry to construct the shrine 500 years ago.
The Mullakkal Chirappu festival spans 41 days from November to December, featuring elephant processions, musical performances, and extensive firework displays.
The temple operates two daily sessions, from 4:30 AM to 12 PM and 5 PM to 8 PM, with special consideration that photography remains prohibited inside.
Every first Sunday of December transforms into a women's festival where female devotees conduct all ceremonies and light numerous lamps throughout the temple grounds.
