The **Attukal Bhagavathy Temple** is a [Hindu](/source/Hindu) shrine located at [Attukal](/source/Attukal) in [Kerala](/source/Kerala), [India](/source/India). It is situated near the heart of the city, two kilometres away from the [Padmanabhaswamy Temple](/source/Sree_Padmanabhaswamy_Temple), East Fort, in [Thiruvananthapuram](/source/Thiruvananthapuram). The goddess of the temple is identified with [Bhadrakali](/source/Bhadrakali), mounted over a [vetala](/source/Vetala). She is also identified with [Kannagi](/source/Kannagi), the heroine of [Ilango Adigal](/source/Ilango_Adigal)'s epic *[Cilappatikaram](/source/Cilappatikaram)*.

The temple is renowned for the annual *[Attukal Pongal](/source/Attukal_Pongala)* festival, in which over three million women participate.[1] A festival that has figured in the [Guinness Book of World Records](/source/Guinness_Book_of_World_Records) for being the single largest gathering of women for a religious activity, the Attukal Pongala continues to draw millions of women with each passing year. Devotees believe that all of their wishes are fulfilled by the goddess, whose worship can allow them to attain salvation. The goddess is often venerated as all three goddesses of the [Tridevi](/source/Tridevi): [Saraswati](/source/Saraswati), [Lakshmi](/source/Lakshmi), and [Parvati](/source/Parvati).

## Legend

According to legend, the Goddess (Bhagavathy) revealed herself to the head (Karanavar) of an ancient family known as the Mulluveettil family in Attukal. One day, while the Karanavar was bathing in the Killi River as part of his evening rituals, a radiant young girl appeared before him from the opposite bank of the river and requested him to help her cross to the other side. After helping her cross the river, the Karanavar noticed the divine aura of the girl. Filled with reverence, he took her to his home and welcomed her respectfully. However, while making arrangements for her stay, the girl suddenly disappeared. Distressed by her disappearance, the Karanavar later saw the Goddess in his dream. She instructed him to establish her abode at a nearby sacred grove (kavu), at the spot marked by certain signs. The next morning, the Karanavar went to the grove and found three lines marked at a specific place. He consecrated the Goddess at that very spot. That sacred place where the Goddess was installed later became what is now known as the Attukal Bhagavathy Temple.[https://www.attukal.org/origin&history](https://www.attukal.org/origin&history)

Another legand ties the origin to the story of kannagi as well Kannagi was a faithful wife whose husband Kovalan was wrongly accused of theft and executed by the king of Madurai. She proved his innocence by showing her anklet (silambu) was different from the queen’s. Enraged by the injustice, she cursed the city, and Madurai was destroyed by fire. After this, she left the city and later became deified as a goddess symbolizing justice and chastity.The connection to Kannagi comes later, influenced by the Tamil epic Silappatikaram. Over time, people identified the local goddess with Kannagi because both represent divine feminine power and virtue. One temple legend says Kannagi came to Attukal after destroying Madurai and later appeared in a devotee’s dream asking for a temple to be built. Tradition also states she traveled west to Kerala and rested at Attukal, which became the temple site.The famous Attukal Pongala festival (women-centered) resonates with Kannagi’s image as a symbol of feminine strength and virtue. [https://mythicremembering.com/books/silappatikaram/](https://mythicremembering.com/books/silappatikaram/), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannagi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannagi).

A different legend identifies the goddess of Attukal as Bhadrakali, who emerged from the third eye of Shiva to slay the [asura](/source/Asura) king Daruka.

## Pongala festival

*[Attukal Pongala](/source/Attukal_Pongala)* is the main.[2] Attukal Pongala Mahotsavam is a 10 days festival which falls on February – March every year (Malayalam month of Kumbham).[3] The festival begins on the Karthika star with the traditional Kappukettu and Kudiyiruthu ceremony, the idol of Devi, is embellished with Kappu (Bangles).

Millions of women gather every year in the month of [Kumbham](/source/Malayalam_calendar) around this temple and prepare *Pongala* (rice cooked with [jaggery](/source/Jaggery), [ghee](/source/Ghee), [coconut](/source/Coconut) as well as other ingredients) in the open in small pots to please the Goddess Kannaki.[5] Pongala (literally means to boil over) is a ritualistic offering of a sweet dish, consisting of rice porridge, sweet brown molasses, coconut gratings, nuts and raisins. It is done as an offering to the presiding deity of the temple – the Goddess – popularly known as Attukal Amma. Goddess Attukal devi is believed to fulfill their wishes and provide prosperity.[6]
