The entire Universe is a continuum of Consciousness and Force. Being and Becoming, the Absolute and the Relative, the Infinite and the Finite. He and She, Sah and Saa !
She flings forth from Him in an outburst of joy, again to find Him playing in Time, She and He, two in One, inseparable - Aurobindo
Here the Deity is fierce and is known as Makara Chova. Great Festivals are here when Mars gets exalted in Capricorn. The most famous Puja here is the Satru Samhara Puja, which takes care of enemies. It is said that Chirakkal Ma is the Destroyer of Enemies !
