Vinayaka Chathurthy
Malliyoor Vinayaka Chathurthy
 Vinayaka
Chathurthy, the day on which Lord Vinayaka was created by Goddess Parvathy,
is observed with great fervor and devotion at Malliyoor. Vinayaka Chaturthy
falls on the fourth day of the waxing moon (suklapakshm) in the month of
Bhadra/Chingam (August-September). The bountiful Loard Sidddhi Vinayaka
confers all blessings and grants all wishes to the devotee on that day.
 According
to puranas, those who observe the moon that day will bring infamy upon themselves.
Special poojas, observances and fasts are held at the Malliyoor temple on
Vinayaka Chathuruthy, to pay obeisance to the Lord of Wisdom and Grace.
The festivities include special poojas like Ashtadravya Ganapathy
Homam, Kazhcha Sreebali, Mahaprasadamoottu, the worship of elephants (Gaja
Pooja) and Music concerts.
