Located about 6 kilometres south of North Paravoor town in Kottuvally village, Ernakulam district, the Thrikkapuram Devi Temple is a revered shrine built in the traditional Kerala style. This ancient temple, believed to be around 800 years old, is situated near North Paravur and holds deep historical and spiritual significance. In its early years, the temple functioned as a spiritual centre under the Karingampilli Swaroopam. Later, stewardship was transferred to the Paravoor Thampuran, who eventually entrusted it to four Nair families in Kottuvally. Along with the rights to the temple and its assets, the divine presence of the Devi and the legacy of the Karingampilli Swaroopam also more found a new home here. The local community was blessed with the installation (Prathishta) of the Devi, who became affectionately known as Thrikkapuratthamma. The temple is known for its rare and vibrant rituals, especially during the festive season. One of the most unique traditions is Othalanga Eru, performed on the first and second days of the festival. After the ceremonial flag hoisting that signals the beginning of celebrations, two gunny bags filled with Othalanga fruits are kept on either side of the temple premises. These fruits are set on fire to create glowing spheres, which are then carried barehanded by devotees and thrown at the opposing team. The event is accompanied by the enthusiastic chant of “Arpuvili” from both sides, creating a powerful and spirited atmosphere. Another notable ritual is the Choottu Padayani, held in the mornings during the festival. Bundles of coconut leaves are tied and set on fire as devotees circumambulate the temple in devotion. These two practices, Othalanga Eru and Choottu Padayani, are sporadic and unique in Kerala temples. During Padayani, large effigies of Lord Hanuman and Bheema are brought into the temple premises with great reverence. Smaller representations of Lord Ganapathy, Garuda, and Sreekrishna also feature in the celebrations. The Thalappoli procession during the festival is especially grand, with caparisoned elephants and traditional Melam music adding to the majesty. The temple is managed by the NSS Kaitharam Karayogam (NSS 812), which also oversees associated assets and cultural programs. The Thanthrik (ritualistic) rights are held by the Thamarasseri Mekkattu family.
