If you ever witness the spectacular festivals of Kerala, the first thing to strike you will be the dazzling colours. The annual Bharani festival at Chettikulangara Bhagavathy temple at Alappuzha is such a festival, where you can feed your eyes on the myriad colours of Kerala’s tradition. 

The highlight of the festival is the Kettukazhcha processions, in which brightly decorated structures are taken on chariots. By dusk, these wonderful structures, the smaller ones designed as chariots and the bigger ones as horses, gather up in a nearby field and devotees throng here from far and near to watch this beautiful event.
