Attukal Pongala Significance

Attukal Pongala is an auspicious festival dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathy, believed to be an incarnation of Devi Parvati/Kannaki. On the ninth day, there is a huge gathering of millions of women on the temple complex. These women prepare a divine food made of rice in earthen pots and offer it to the Attukal Amma (Goddess of the Temple). The pongala preparation starts with the ritual called 'Aduppuvettu', a lighting of the pongala hearth called Pandarayaduppu, which is placed inside the temple by the chief priest.

The ceremony was set up in Guinness Book of World Records on February 23, 1997, when 1.5 million women participated in Pongala. In 2009, a new Guinness World Record celebrated 2.5 million attendance.
