Nariampara Puthiyakavu Devi Temple, also known as Putheyakavil Devi Temple, is located in the Highrange region of Kerala (a high-altitude area), specifically in Nariyampara, Kattappana Town, Idukki district. It is situated near popular tourist destinations such as Munnar and Thekkady. Other nearby towns include Kottayam, Nedumkandam, Idukki, Mundakayam, Thodupuzha, Kanjirappally, Palai, Kumily, and Kothamangalam. The temple is a family temple of the Kalloorath family and has its origins tied to the Moothedath Kavu Temple in Vaikom. Historically, the temple has a deep connection to the Velichappadu (oracle) family of the Moothedath Devi Temple. The Kalloorath family, once associated with the Velichappadu role, chose to discontinue this position, but more continued to worship the ancestral sword. Over time, the divine presence of Devi was believed to manifest within the family home, leading to the construction of a temple for the goddess. The annual festival at Putheyakavil Devi Temple is renowned for its colourful processions, poojas, rituals, and the traditional ezhunellippu (ceremonial procession). The story of the temple's founding is closely linked to Gowri, the eldest member of the Kalloorath family. Her grandfather, a devout follower of Moothedath Devi, was the Velichappadu of the Moothedath Devi Temple. After his passing, the family did not continue in this role, but Gowri inherited her grandfather's sword. The temple was later established after the goddess revealed her divine presence, following prayers and offerings made by Kalloorath Kuttappan, Gowri’s husband. On January 21, 1987, a small temple was built by the family to offer daily rituals. During a devaprashnam (astrological consultation), it was revealed that two equally powerful goddesses Durga and Bhadrakali were present and that two temples were needed. Along with the main deities, sub-deities including Ganapathi, Nagaraja, Yakshi, Rakshas, Moola Pithru, Parama Shiva, and Navagraha were also identified. Under the guidance of the renowned temple architect, Sri Kanipayoor Krishnan Namboothiripad, the construction of an ancient-style temple began. After Gowri married Kuttappan, they settled in Kattappana, where Gowri continued to light a lamp near the sword of her grandfather. However, the family soon faced challenges, including illness and financial difficulties. In response, Kuttappan conducted a devaprashnam, which indicated that Devi required shelter outside the house. In the early 20th century, Kuttappan built a small temple for the goddess, and he had always wished to build a grander temple. In 1989, Kuttappan's dream was realized when the present generation of the Kalloorath family, led by K.K. Thankappan, constructed a new temple. However, due to a miscalculation in the temple's construction, a new temple is currently being built. The temple is now managed by a governing body consisting of 51 members from the surrounding community, selected by the Kalloorath family. This governing body works under the family's guidance and has contributed greatly to the temple's administration and progress.
