Kumbha Bharani Pongala Mahotsavam 2026 at Plavunninna Devi Temple Devaswom Trust, Kanjiramkulam, Thiruvananthapuram is a spiritually significant annual celebration that draws thousands of devotees from across Kerala and beyond. Observed during the Malayalam month of Kumbham, the festival is dedicated to the worship of Sree Kanjiramkulathamma revered as a powerful manifestation of the Divine Mother symbolizing protection, compassion and prosperity.
The Mahotsavam spans five auspicious days from 19 to 23 February 2026 marked by traditional rituals, temple ceremonies, and vibrant devotional practices rooted in age-old customs. Each day begins with early morning poojas and progresses through various offerings, homams, deeparadhana and special rituals performed according to Tantric and temple traditions. The temple atmosphere during this period is filled with the chanting of sacred hymns, devotional songs and the rhythmic sounds of traditional instruments creating a deeply immersive spiritual experience.
A central highlight of the festival is the Kumbha Bharani Pongala, an offering made by women devotees who prepare a sacred dish in earthen pots as an act of devotion and fulfillment of vows. Pongala is conducted with great discipline and sanctity symbolizing the bond between the Goddess and her devotees. The offering is believed to bring blessings for family welfare, health and spiritual growth.
The festival also commemorates the re-consecration anniversary of the temple reaffirming the spiritual energy of the deity and the sacred space. Community participation plays a vital role in the celebrations with devotees, volunteers and temple committees working together to ensure smooth conduct of rituals and facilities.
