Vadakkumkara Devi Temple, also known as Cherthala Sree Bhadra Vilasam Vadakkumkara Temple, is situated in the peaceful village of Vadakkumkara in the Thycattussery Block of Alappuzha district, Kerala. The village falls under the Chennampallipuram Panchayath in the South Kerala Division. It is located approximately 30 kilometres north of the Alappuzha district headquarters, about 11 kilometres from Thycattussery, and around 178 kilometres from the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram. This serene temple is dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathy and holds significant spiritual value for the local community. Though modest in size, the temple features a traditional square sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) and includes upa devatas (sub-deities) as well as a kodimaram (flagstaff). Two
more major festivals are celebrated annually at the temple, both during the Malayalam month of Makaram. The first is the Pratishta Mahotsavam, commemorating the installation of the deity, and the second is the vibrant Pooram festival, which attracts devotees from the surrounding regions. Despite its simplicity, the temple radiates a deep spiritual energy and continues to be a cherished place of worship for devotees in and around Vadakkumkara.
