The ritual of Pongala represents surrender, devotion, and gratitude to the goddess and is believed to bring divine blessings, peace and fulfillment of wishes. Thousands of devotees participate in this festival creating a breathtaking visual of devotion with rows of cooking pots and the aroma of freshly cooked offerings filling the temple courtyard and surrounding streets.
