Pochamma is the most popular Goddesses in Andhra Pradesh.
In this case the notion of temple itself is very different, where the temple is treated as a place where the deity exists but not in order that regular pujas be conducted for her. Pochamma is not always made the object of a daily puja by the priest. Once every year the masses go to the temple with bonalu (pots in which sweet rice is cooked), wash the small stone that represents the deity, and clean the temple and it surroundings.
The people can approach the Goddess without the mediation of a priest, who talk to the Goddess as they talk among themselves. This is the reason Goddess Pochamma is worshiped by all people.
