പട്ടാഴി പൊങ്കാല 2026 പട്ടാഴി ദേവീ ക്ഷേത്രം കൊല്ലം | Pattazhy Pongala 2026 Pattazhy Devi Temple Kollam
Pattazhy Pongala is one of the most spiritually significant and widely observed rituals at Pattazhy Devi Temple in Kollam district, Kerala. This sacred offering is dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathy, the presiding deity of the temple and is marked by intense devotion, traditional customs, and deeprooted cultural beliefs passed down through generations.
Pattazhy Devi Temple holds an important place in Kerala’s temple heritage and the Pongala festival here attracts a large number of devotees from nearby villages and distant regions alike.
The Pongala ritual is performed primarily by women who prepare a sacred offering made of rice, jaggery, coconut and other traditional ingredients in earthen pots. These pots are placed on temporary hearths arranged around the temple premises, nearby roads and open spaces. The ritual begins after the sacred fire is lit from the temple’s sanctum and ceremoniously distributed to the devotees symbolizing the divine presence of the Goddess. As the Pongala boils over, it is believed to signify the fulfillment of prayers and the acceptance of the offering by the deity.
Pattazhy Pongala is observed in a highly disciplined and devotional atmosphere. Devotees observe vratham and maintain ritual purity before participating in the offering. Temple priests conduct special poojas, chanting sacred hymns and mantras throughout the day, enhancing the spiritual ambience of the festival. The entire area resonates with devotion, faith and collective prayer creating a powerful spiritual experience for participants and observers.
Beyond its religious significance, Pattazhy Pongala reflects the strong sense of community and unity among devotees. Families, neighbors, and volunteers come together to assist participants by providing water, firewood and other necessities.
