Not exactly.

If you are boiling water then the temperature of the water reaches boiling point and stays there despite the fact that you are still applying heat to the pan (thus heat is going somewhere but not into the water!).

What is happening is that the heat goes into the water vapour as it boils off / evaporates so it is not lost. This heat is called "latent heat".

You get this latent heat back when the water vapour re-condenses into water and this property of being able to move heat in vapour phases is how fridges and heat pumps work and is the source of energy for hurricanes.

Short Answer how does the water kept in an earthen pot matka become cool during summer?

Evaporative cooling.During the process of evaporation ,air takes in heat, thus cooling down the surrounding areas.In other words, particles of liquid absorb energy from the surroundings to regain the heat lost during evaporation,thereby cooling nearby objects.Same is the case with an earthen pot.

Is heat absorbed or released during evaporation?

Heat is absorbed by the molecules leaving the place the evaporation is occuring. That is why, after putting aftershave or cologne, you feel cold. The alcohol in the aftershave/cologne has evaporated and taken the heat from your face with it.
