Finally the sacred offering to the Goddess boils over, as devotees rejoice. They are now free to complete teir own Pongalas, this year at their homes. #AttukalPongala https://t.co/7zbumeZdiv — PolitiTweet.org

Waiting for the sacred flame to be lit sometimes feels like the #AttukalPongala equivalent of Waiting for Godot, except that the flame actually does arrive after all appropriate rituals! Here with @vssivakumarmla @VSivankuttyCPIM @AryaRajendranS1 &devotees https://t.co/m5XxMPSLyr — PolitiTweet.org

The flame burns brightly for half an hour. The earthen pot is blackened. But the offering is slower to boil over than usual. #AttukalPongala https://t.co/IIi7XRdSfD — PolitiTweet.org

The sacred flame burns brightly but a slight breeze directs it towards one side of the pot. #AttukalPongala https://t.co/s9rql3QrXJ — PolitiTweet.org

In a centuries-old practice, the sacred flame is lit under the mother Pongala at the annual #AttukalPongala in Thiruvananthapuram as devotees crowd around the traditional earthen pot. https://t.co/AV9trRpo10 — PolitiTweet.org

At Attukal, while waiting for the auspicious lighting of the sacred flame, I discussed with General Education Minister @VSivankuttyCPIM the funds shortage at the #SainikSchool, Kazhakoottam. StateGovt has approved 6cr in view of Centre’s failure to fulfil its obligations. https://t.co/XCojnH5udB — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulated Thiruvananthapuram Mayor Arya Rajendran on the announcement of her impending nuptials to CPIM’s youngest MLA, SachinDev. Anyone whose name combines two of India’s greatest cricketers must be a good catch, I told her! Blessings & best wishes to the young couple. https://t.co/glcEHdg7BX — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to COVID restrictions, today’s #AttukalPongala will fall a long way short of the 2009 record of 25 lakh devotees that made this festival the world’s largest gathering of women. Still, Thiruvananthapuram is in the mood, w/ offerings being prepared at home &a public Holiday. https://t.co/zNBhaYMVOb — PolitiTweet.org

Emerging from the Guruvayur temple with my mother on Tuesday night. She has been praying there whenever possible for eight decades. The pandemic has not significantly reduced the number of devotees, but everyone is masked & Covid protocols are being followed. https://t.co/4L5lWKYEBT — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent piece on the #HijabRow by @KhairTabish. As I’ve repeatedly said, it’s a matter of individual choice. No woman should be forced to wear or not wear something: let her do what’s right for her. Personal choices of what2wear or what2eat are nobody else’s business. https://t.co/Qkl6KYkVPn — PolitiTweet.org

In Tirur,Kerala, communal harmony &brotherhood reigned when a temple called off its festivities &celebrations on hearing of the death of an elderly Muslim person in the area. Everything was switched off immediately&celebrants rushed to condole the death: https://t.co/O8cxtn4JEH — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted to receive @bachikarkaria’s new biography of the legendary founder of #LeelaHotels, Capt KrishnanNair, #CapturetheDream.

And finally, my starred question on oil spills (video already tweeted). May I remind the Minister of the 5000 litre oil spill off the TVM coast in 2021? India must ratify multiple Conventions on oil spills& ensuing pollution, & pass a new law that's been pending for too long! https://t.co/uY1hMnBdbP — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see for once the govt is delivering what it had promised, by encouraging Khadi & local products. However, these numbers only represent the Ministries' procurement on GeM. What about info on procurement from other sources & Khadi products not listed on GeM? https://t.co/j3zTe7sYBu — PolitiTweet.org
