Kalpathy Ratholsavam (Kalpathy Chariot Festival) is a must-see event in Palakkad, Kerala. This annual festival takes place at the Sri Visalakshi Sametha Sri Viswanatha Swamy Temple in Kalpathy village in Palakkad.
The main highlight is the grand chariot procession, but the festival also includes Carnatic music, Vedic rituals, and various cultural programs, making it a vibrant celebration of tradition and heritage.
Unfortunately, the Kalpathy Ratholsavam for 2024 is already over. But don’t worry! You can plan your visit to Palakkad next year in November to witness this amazing festival. In the meantime, there are plenty of other incredible places to explore in Palakkad.
