വേങ്കമല പൊങ്കാല 2026 തിരുവനന്തപുരം വേങ്കമല ഭഗവതി ക്ഷേത്രം | Vengamala Pongala 2026 Vengamala Bhagavathi Temple Trivandrum
Vengamala Pongala is one of the most vibrant and spiritually significant festivals celebrated at the Vengamala Bhagavathi Temple in Trivandrum, Kerala.
This festival is dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathi and it draws thousands of women devotees from across the state and neighboring regions, all eager to participate in the unique ritual of offering Pongala. Pongala is a traditional offering of sweet rice, jaggery, coconut and other ingredients prepared by women in earthen pots and cooked as a symbol of devotion, prosperity and blessings from the goddess.
The preparations for the festival begin well in advance with the temple premises and surrounding streets being cleaned and decorated. Devotees set up small stoves in rows along the roads and open spaces near the temple turning the entire area into a beautiful mosaic of flickering flames and smoke from the cooking Pongala. The atmosphere is filled with devotion, chanting of hymns, and the sounds of traditional instruments creating a spiritually uplifting environment.
It fosters a sense of community and togetherness as women from different backgrounds come together to participate in this sacred ritual. The festival also features traditional temple arts, music, and rituals that add to the overall grandeur of the event. Visitors and pilgrims often report experiencing a deep sense of peace and divine energy while participating in or witnessing the Pongala offerings.
