Kidangoor Subramanya Swamy Temple

History

This temple is one of the ancient temples of Kerala. The Kidangur Subramanya Swami temple is situated in Kottayam District. It is a kilometre away from the Ettumanur-Punjar Highway on the southern side of Kidangur-Manarkad road. It is believed that the idol of Subramanya Swami came out of the 'Kamandulu' or pot carried by Maharshi Gauna when it tilted and the water flowed out. Along with the flow of the water, the viagra was carried away to the Vishnukshetra in Kidangur. Inside the temple where a new Sree Kovil was built for Lord Vishnu, the temple officials felt the presence of Subramanya Swami more and so they kept the Subramanya Vigraha there instead of Vishnu. So along with the Vishnu Vigraha on the northern side, the Subramanya Vigraha was also consecrated in the new Sree Kovil. Kidangur is historically one of the 64 villages of the Namboodiris. It was the boundary of the Thekkumkur-Vadakkumkur kings. The 14 Brahmin families of Kidangur were the owners of this temple. Out of the 14 Brahmin families, some did not have male descendants, so those with male members remain the sole owners of this temple even today. Koothambalam -Bharata Muni's concept of Natya Shastra is evident in the sculptural work inside the Kuthambalam. So, this is different from all other Kuthambalams of various temples of Kerala. It is believed that the Kuthambalam was constructed by Perunthachan. The scenes from Ramayana and Mahabharatha are beautifully sculptured on the Rangamandapam of the Kuthambalam. A huge pillar is curved out of the wood of "Kurumthotti"- a medicinal plant. Inside the hall, there is a viagra of Devi Bhuvaneswari. Women are not allowed to enter the Kuthambalam and the 'Nalambalam'. 'Koothu' and 'Koodiyattom' are performed inside the Koothambalam. A special performance of 'Brahmachari Koothu' is conducted only in this temple for the benefit of those with no children. Mahamaya Devi, enshrined in the Kuthambalam facing south, is known as Kuthambalathil Amma.
