Devi Temple Festival

One of my neighbours in Trivandrum is a Devi Temple. My visit this time coincided with their festival and I had 3 full days of continous music, ranging from religious songs to melodious mallu songs to racy tamil songs.

See those loudspeakers, well they are right opposite my house.

There was a pandal on our house terrace where food was served for some 400 people in the locality. The temple trustees were sponsoring it and we agreed to give our premise for the cooking and serving of food. So we had a nice free-meal all the three days.

And then this huge black guy came on the last day for the festivities. There is he standing in front of my house.


This is the best part of the festival. You can check out the video

Then similar to the famous Attukal pongala, we had a local pongala
