The Beemapally Uroos, also known as Chandanakkudam Mahotsavam, is a significant 11-day festival held annually at the Beemapally Dargah Shareef in Thiruvananthapuram. This festival commemorates the death anniversary of Saint Sayyidhathunissa Beema Beevi and her son, Ashaikhu Sayidushaheed Maheen Aboobaker. Believed to belong to the family of Prophet Mohammad, Beema Beevi is revered for her divine powers, and her tomb is a focal point of reverence at the mosque.

The festival begins at the onset of Jama dul Akbar in the Hijra calendar with the hoisting of the festival flag. Devotees bring earthen pots filled with coins (kudams) covered with sandalwood paste (chandanam) as offerings. This unique ritual is central to the festival and lends it the name Chandanakkudam Mahotsavam. The pots are adorned with flowers and incense sticks, symbolizing purity and devotion. 

The festival is a vibrant event showcasing several art forms, including duffmuttu. On the final day, a grand procession takes place, featuring the flag from Beema Beevi’s grave, with pomp and splendour.  This procession is a major attraction and adds to the festive atmosphere. 

The mosque’s historical and architectural significance adds to the allure of the annual event, making it a must-visit for those seeking a profound spiritual experience.

The Beemapally Uroos stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of Kerala, highlighting the inclusive spirit of the region by welcoming people from all walks of life to partake in the celebrations.
