Thiruvananthapuram: Holy pilgrimage to the famous Hill Temple at
Kalimala started started yesterday.The Temple is located at Pathukani
near Vellarada at the Kerala-TamilNadu border.

<b>Kalimala and the temple was grabbed by the Christian Missionaries and
named it as "Kurisumala" .The Land and Temple was originally maintained
by Hindu Tribals in the area.The land was given to them by
Marthandavarma to local Tribals in the area.Cunning Missionaries
captured this holy land of Sahyan as well.Thanks to the efforts of
Hindu awakening, after long legal struggle the Temple and land was
Restored to Hindus.</b>

On "Chitra Pournami" day of the Malayalam month of Medam, women
considered as part of the Devi herself, offer Pongal on Her Holy Earl.
With the Nilavilakku' s lighting, the NiraPara and the playing of the
Chenda the atmosphere turns into eternal blissfulness with the Devi
blessing her devotees as Sakthi, Vidhya, Sthithi and Smrithi. Scores
of ladies take part in this "Mathrupooja" that takes place once a
year.This years Chitra Pournami falls on May 2nd.

Elaborate arrangements are made to adreess the needs of lakhs of
Pilgrims who pay visit to this Holy Temple during this occassion by
the Temple Authorities.

As per Temple History Sri AgasthyaMuni, underwent Thapas( deep
meditation) at Kaalimala. Pleased with his devotion, Shree
DharmaSastha & Shree Durga Devi revealed their divine forms to him and
have ever since continued to shower their blissful blessings at
Kaalimala to devotees toiling in worldliness.

The devotees observe severe fasting and come for the blissful dharsan
with "Irumudikettu" . They offer ghee, symbolizing the power of their
soul to the idol and coconuts to the fire, to attain `Moksha'.

Kaalimala has Kaalitheertham situated near to a place where Sage
Agasthiya is said to have done his Holy Thapas. The Kaalitheertham
which never gets dried up is considered sacred, on par with the
Ganges. This water is used by thousands of women during the "Pongal
Mahotsavam".

"Santhana Sowbhagya Pooja" is the most important pooja offered to
Shree Nagayekshi. Crowds of people from various states eagerly take
part in this auspicious pooja.
