The first week of panchakarma is especially busy with treatments, so all of our excursions will be in the second week.

In our program:
1. A visit to the Ajimala temple, which sits on a cliff on the shore of the Lakkadivi Sea, very close to the beach.
On the grounds of this Temple, Kerala’s tallest statue of Shiva, one of the trinity of major gods of Hinduism, was unveiled in 2020 after 6 years of construction. The grand statue of Gangadhareshwara (one of the names of Shiva ) shows the legend when the great river Ganga came down from the heavens to the human world and Shiva took all its power on his head, protecting the earth from destruction.
Mahadev (another of Shiva’s names) is depicted as a muscular, four-armed ascetic with waving hair in which the sickle of the moon is speckled. In his hands he holds a damaru drum and a trident on a long shaft. One of the hands is raised upward and as if supporting the Ganga Devi, the sacred river that falls to earth from the heavenly spheres. Shiva’s body is adorned with many rudraksha malas – beads and bracelets made of rudraksha. There is a snake hanging from God’s neck.
You can see the history of the temple under the statue, there is a cave of the Dhyana Mandapam temple hall where 27 steps lead up to it


2. Visit to Attukal Bhagavati Temple and participate in puja (optional).

In this, one of the ancient temples of South India in Kerala, the main deity is Bhadra Kali, who according to Hindu mythology, is the goddess of prosperity and salvation. The temple is considered to be a women’s temple and all the women of India seek to come here to get the blessings of the Goddess.
The temple is also famous for its Pongala festival, where rituals are performed exclusively by women. This festival is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of women at a religious festival. Anyone who visits Attukal is first struck by the beauty and charm of the architecture,
combining two traditional styles – Tamil and Kerala. The temple is decorated with beautifully carved figures of deities Kali, Parvati, Shiva, Ganesha, incarnations of Vishnu and others. Even the entrance gate itself is an example of architectural beauty. One of the Goddess statues covered with gold and precious stones is preserved in all its beauty and radiates light and brilliance. The Goddess in this temple is worshipped as the Supreme Mother, the creator of all living beings and the powerful preserver as well as destroyer of everything. The pilgrimage is also not considered complete without a visit to the shrine of the Supreme Mother Attukalamma.


3. Visiting Kanyakumari and Shakti Tikti in the state of Tamil Nadu .
We will travel to India’s southernmost state of Tamil Nadu and visit the amazing place where the sun rises from the ocean and sets in the ocean. This place is considered sacred. Pilgrims flock here to greet the dawn and ablution at the place where the waters of the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea meet. If one takes ablution here, all sins are washed away.
Not far from the shore are two rocky islands, one of which houses the Memorial of the great saint Swami Vivekananda and most importantly one of the Shakti Pithas, a source of incredible energy of happiness, and the other a statue of Thiruvalluvar. We’ll visit one of the islands


4.Visit to the Temple of the Three Gods Tanumalayan at Suchindram in the state of Tamil Nadu.
The temple is dedicated to the trimurti_- Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma in one form, which is its chief deity. Legend has it that the king of gods, Indra, who was cursed by a sage for inappropriate behavior with his wife, performed penance here. Indra performed purification rituals, for which the place got its name Suchindram – “Purification of Indra”. It is believed that Indra comes at midnight and stays till dawn to worship Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma.
It is one of the oldest Temples, its foundation is attributed to 2000 years ago, but since it was constantly rebuilt and completed, its current shape acquired by the 17th century. The gopura towers are a gigantic structure covered with magnificent sculptures showing the stories of the Great Mahabharata.
Inside the temple is a 6.7 meter high statue of Hanuman, carved out of a single granite block. It is one of the tallest statues of this type in India. In 1740, fearing attack, the statue was “buried” in the temple and forgotten. It wasn’t found until 1930.
The temple has the famous musical columns, made of solid stone, when tapped, each produces a sound in a different pitch
