Erumeli Chandanakudam is a grand festival celebrated at the Jama-ath Mosque in Erumeli, symbolizing religious harmony and devotion. The festival is dedicated to Vavar Swamy, a close associate of Lord Ayyappa, and is observed by both Muslims and Hindus. The highlight of the event is a procession where devotees carry earthen pots (Kudams) filled with sandalwood paste (Chandanam), offering prayers at the mosque. Accompanied by traditional music, folk performances, and colorful parades, the festival creates a lively and spiritual atmosphere. Erumeli Chandanakudam is an integral part of the Sabarimala pilgrimage, reflecting the deep-rooted cultural unity of Kerala.
