It is Attukal pongala in Trivandrum Attukal Temple which is called as Ladies sabarimala. This festival is there in Guiness Books of World records, where the number of ladies put this pongala for Goddess Durga. Yesterday I went to the temple and Goddress was really beautiful to see with her proud ornaments and decorations. It was heavy rush and still I got nice darshan. May goddess shower her blessings upon our IKOLAM members and their families and ofcourse to all in this World.
