Daily Offerings (Vazhivadukal)

There have many more offerings, Poomoodal & Muttarukkalis the two main daily rituals at the Kadampuzha Devi Temple.

• Poomoodal (covering the deity under a heap of freshly picked flowers) is the highest puja done in the temple. The Poomoodal offering is being done between   09.00-11.00 after which the temple will be closed after morning pujas by 11.00.
  

• Muttarukkal, another offering, involves breaking coconuts before the deity by the pujari, correctly into two equal halves, and is used for warding away problems in the life of the devotees. The word itself means “keeping away obstacles”. If an offered coconut fails to be broken into two exact halves, then fresh coconuts are broken until one is broken “correctly” – ensuring that the problem has been solved by the divine interference of the deity.
  

The Muttarukkal offering is being done only in the morning i.e. between 05.00 and 07.00 on weekdays. On Sundays the timings for the Muttarukkal offering is also allowed between  15.00-17.45 in addition to the morning time. The counter timings in the evenings are between 1530-1700 on Sundays.
