STORY OF ATTUKAL PONGALA
'Ponkala' is the most important festival of Attukal Bhagavathy Temple.
The offering of Ponkala is a very special temple practice in the southern part of Kerala.
The ten-day- long celebration commences in the Malayalam month of Makaram-Kumbham (Feb - March)on the Karthika star.
Ponkala ceremony is on the auspicious day of Pooram star which coincides with full moon.
The festival commences with the musical rendering of the story of the Goddess (Kannaki Charitam) during the "Kappukettu ceremony".
The story invokes the presence of Kodungallur Bhagavathy and the slaying of the Pandyan King. The song will continue for all the nine days preceding Ponkala.
The event of the Goddess annihilating the Pandyan King is accompanied by much sound and fury of the temple drums and "Vaykurava" by devotees, immediately followed by the lighting of the hearths for the preparation of the offering for the Goddess.
This festival commemorates the victory of Good over Evil, by the slaying of Pandyan King.
Throughout the festival an atmosphere of celebration and festivity prevails and there are the solemn observances such as regular conduct of Bhajans, musical concerts, ballets depicting folk and temple arts etc. in the temple premises.
This is symbolic of the philosophy that human and divine affairs are inter-woven so minutely in all its disquisitions.
Processions of colourful floats of the deity from all around, carried with pomp and devotion by the devotees congregating in the temple premises provides a pleasing experience.
