2026 പൊങ്കാല മഹോത്സവം പള്ളിച്ചൽ ചിറ്റിക്കോട് ശ്രീ ഭദ്രകാളി ദേവീ ക്ഷേത്രം തിരുവനന്തപുരം | Pongala Mahotsavam 2026 Pallichal Chittikkode Sree Bhadrakali Devi Temple Trivandrum
The Pongala Mahotsavam at Pallichal Chittikkode Sree Bhadrakali Devi Temple in Trivandrum is one of the most vibrant and spiritually uplifting festivals in Kerala. Devoted to Goddess Bhadrakali, the temple becomes a center of divine energy and communal devotion during this annual celebration.
The festival draws thousands of devotees especially women from across the region, all of whom gather to offer Pongala, a special ritual of cooking a sweet rice pudding as an offering to the Goddess. This ritual symbolizes surrender, devotion and the fulfillment of vows made to the deity.
The temple premises and surrounding streets are transformed into a lively spiritual space adorned with traditional decorations, oil lamps and colorful floral arrangements. Devotees arrive early carrying earthen pots, rice, jaggery, coconut, and other ingredients for the Pongala offering.
The entire event is marked by an atmosphere of joy, unity and shared devotion, with women sitting together on streets and courtyards to cook the sacred offering.
Apart from the main Pongala ritual, the festival features a series of traditional ceremonies, including special poojas, devotional songs and processions that showcase Kerala’s rich cultural and religious heritage. The rhythmic sound of drums, temple bells and chants fills the air creating an immersive spiritual experience. The festival also emphasizes community bonding, as neighbors and strangers come together to participate in the celebrations reinforcing social harmony alongside religious devotion.
