This temple is at Cheppanam,
near Panangad in Ernakulam district. Long ago the local people had established
a Bhajana madom which later grew to become the temple. Bhadrakali and
Balabhadra are worshipped with equal importance here. Gurunathan, Ganapathy,
Annapoorneswari, Subrahmanyan, Khandakarnan, Sivan and Serpents are also
consecrated here.
