Trivandrum's Attukal Bhagavathy Temple is one of the most well-known temples in the country.

Many people have described visiting the great temple and worshipping to Attukal Devi as a life-changing event. According to legend, the goddess bestows progeny, health, riches, and a prosperous life on her believers. The temple's Attukal Pongala Festival is a big hit in the south, and the residents are looking forward to it. Tourists and devotees from all over the world flock to Trivandrum during the festival season to see the cheerful and colourful festivities.
