പൊൻമുടി സീതാതീർത്ഥത്തിലെ മകരപൊങ്കാല-makara pongal at ponmudi hills thiruvananthapuram

The Makara Pongala festival at the Seethatheertham temple in Ponmudi held on 15 January 2023. Scores of Kani tribespeople from various parts of Nedumangad taluk, including Palode, Vithura, Kallar and Kulathupuzha, will offer Pongala on the occasion. The temple, run by the Ponmudi Seethatheertham Temple Kanikkar Trust, is situated on a picturesque valley around 1 km off the Ponmudi Upper Sanatorium.One spot, however, often escapes even the most thorough travellers – Seethatheertham. It has no strings attached to the shrine in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, that goes by the same name. In fact, this temple dedicated to goddess Sita lies atop a hill. Made unassumingly of straws and husk, this temple stands strong on a wide expanse of rocky hills, surrounded by nothing but silence and strong winds.A few metres from the temple is a foot imprint, plastered and preserved for believers and curious visitors. Local legend narrates a tale of Sita's visit with Ram and Laxman to this place, on their way back to Ayodhya. The preserved foot print of Sita lies near the edge of the hill. #ponmudi #seethatheertham #makarapongal #kallar #nedumangad #palode #vithura #ramlaxman #sitadevi #ayodhya #temple #hill #tourism #rituals #trivandrumpulse
