Sundal: The flavour of navaratri fest in South India

The entire country celebrates the navaratri festival but every region has its distinct flavour to the celebrations. In the rural south India, it has its own signature style. In Madurai, shrouded in mystery is the temple of the 'Saptakannimar', the seven goddesses that is located in the remote hills. Every year thousands of villagers throng to this temple with a special offering that is called ‘Sundal’ and is cooked over a wooden fire.
