Attual Pongala: The raw and the cooked
Children looking at the Attukal temple pond
Pongala is mental cleansing.
Imagine the pongala pot as your mind; what you boil and cook inside is none other than the ego, the sins and the bad thoughts that have always pulled you back.
The raw is now cooked, it a has transformed to a new thing, its no more the rice and jaggerry; its the prasada, or the resurrected mind.
Pongala is resurrection of mind.

Temple getting a facelift
Construction works in connection with the Attukal Pongala 2011 are progressing on warfooting, which would give the Attukal temple premises a new look. The temple witnessed a thick gathering today, the 1st of Malayalam month Dhanu, even amidst the construction works that has virtually gutted the entire space of the temple premises. Come and see, you will breath the air of the festival, even it is two months away. Pongala is so divine, that for the sixty days ahead, it would wither its fragrance and glory around.
