This temple is at Kozhipilly, Kothamangalam in Ernakulam district. This is one of the very rare temples in Kerala where Sree Chakra consecration can be seen. The locality came to be known as Pallikal because of this temple. The main deity worshipped here is Bhadrakali, who is in self-originated form. Siva, Ganapathy, Ayyappa, Raktheswari and Sree Krishnan are worshipped as subordinate deities. The members of the Aarazhi Parappurath mana have been in charge of the rituals here for many centuries. Many families and the people of 18 areas as well as all Hindu communities have special rights here. Previously festival and Guruthy were conducted yearly and a
more 14-day Pattulsavam every third year. The festival was disrupted in 1907 but Pattulsavam was conducted till 1946. Annual Guruthy is conducted even today. The banyan tree, well and special provisions for giving water to the birds and animals that were in the Pallikal market, were also destroyed. Many spaces connected with temple rituals that were present near the temple were also destroyed. After astrological consultations, repairs were done for the sanctum, Namaskara mandapam and the temple pond. This was completed in 2016.
