Pongala
Pongala is a traditional offering made by devotees, primarily women, to the presiding deity, usually a goddess, during temple festivals in Kerala, particularly in Attukal Bhagavathy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. It involves cooking a special rice dish called "pongal" in earthen pots using ingredients like rice, jaggery, coconut, and ghee. The cooked pongal is then offered to the deity as a symbol of devotion and gratitude, and it is believed that partaking in this ritual brings blessings and fulfillment of wishes.
