Phoenix: In a celebration of cultural diversity, spirituality, and community harmony, the Kerala Hindus of Arizona (KHA), a Arizona based non-profit charitable organization is set to host the much-anticipated Attukal Pongala Festival on Saturday, February 24th, 2024 at the Maha Ganapathi Temple of Arizona.

Originating from the rich cultural tapestry of Kerala, India, Attukal Pongala is a festival dedicated to the goddess Attukal Bhagavathy.
