Festivals
The Temple has a number of festivals. The important ones are :
Ooruttu Maholsavam
Ooruttu Maholsavam, observed during the auspicious month of Meenam, is a revered festival at this temple, marked by elaborate rituals and fervent devotional activities. The ceremonial hoisting of the temple flag, known as Thrikkodiyettu, initiates the festivities, followed by special poojas and cultural performances, creating a vibrant atmosphere of spiritual fervor and communal celebration. Devotees eagerly participate in the rituals, seeking divine blessings and experiencing a profound sense of devotion and unity during this sacred occasion.
Pongala
The Pongala festival is a special offering dedicated to the goddess, where devotees prepare a sweet dish called Pongala in earthen pots as an offering. This ritual is typically performed by women, who gather in large numbers to cook the Pongala over an open flame, invoking the blessings of the goddess for prosperity and well-being. The cooked Pongala is then offered to the deity as a symbol of devotion and gratitude, marking the culmination of the festival with prayers and rituals.
