Edathua Perunnal

Start date: 27-04-2024

End date: 07-05-2024

Venue: St. George's Church

District: Alappuzha

On the banks of the Pamba River in Alappuzha lies a marvellous structure that is often compared to the medieval behemoths that adorn Europe’s landscape. The Edathua Church is famous for its structural prowess and is a symbol of God’s Own Country’s architectural heritage. Built-in 1810, it was dedicated to St. George and draws in large crowds for its annual Perunnal (festival) of St. George. This joyous event occurs between 27th April and 7th May every year and is celebrated with much pomp and flare. A statue of the saint, decked in gold, leads a procession that ends at the Basilica itself. Prayers are offered as the landscape is peppered with a multitude of cultural fêtes and feasts.
