Eravikulangara Bhagavathy Temple, located near Nedumbassery in the Ernakulam district, is an ancient Hindu temple with a history dating back approximately 1,600 years, as revealed by an Ashtamangalya Prasna conducted here. According to this divine revelation, the temple was once surrounded by a dense forest, where the presence of Devi was discovered. It is believed that Vilwamangalam Swamiyar had a divine vision (Darshan) of the Goddess at this location, leading to the hillock where the temple stands being named Thiruvilwam Kunnu. A Brahmachari Brahmin scholar named Sankara Sarma, from the nearby Padappa Mana, worshipped Bhadrakali in his Illam. Before renouncing worldly life and leaving for Kashi, he performed more the Prathishta (consecration) of Bhadrakali at this temple. The goddess is believed to have gained immense spiritual energy due to this powerful Prana Prathishta. The temple is associated with several fascinating legends. One such tale speaks of a Divine Light seen by villagers in the dense forest near a lake while they were grazing cattle. The miraculous sight led to the exclamation, "Aa Parambil Adbhutam!" (A divine wonder in that land!), and the place later came to be known as Akapparambu. The divine presence was worshipped there, eventually leading to the establishment of this temple. Another significant legend involves two young men enacting the mythological battle between Bhadrakali and Darika. During the performance, both were possessed by the divine energies of Devi and Asura and in the heat of the battle, Bhadrakali struck off Darika’s head. His body and head turned into two rocks, which still exist near the temple, known as Darika Para. A similar story is told about another set of rocks called Velathy Kallu. According to legend, a washerwoman (Velathy) who regularly washed clothes in the temple lake prayed that the sun should not set until she completed her work. When Lord Soorya (the Sun God) halted in the sky, Devi noticed this unnatural event and, in response, cursed the woman. She and her bundle of clothes turned into two rocks, which still stand as a reminder of the incident. The large lake to the south of the temple holds great spiritual significance and has been preserved in its original state.
