Sree Thurayil Kavu Bhagavathy Temple

History

This temple is at Karanthoor in the Kozhikode district. It is believed to be 2000 years old. Sree Parvathy, Sree Lakshmy and Sree Saraswathy are present in the self-originated idol here, believed to be in the form in which they approached Anasooya Devi. The temple is in the middle of a 10-acre forest. It is believed that when Sree Hanuman was carrying the mountain with Mruthasanjeevani to the battlefield in Sri Lanka, a portion of the Vrishabha mountain fell, and this was developed into the fort that is seen here. As the effulgence of Hanuman is seen here, he too has been consecrated and worshipped here. Lord more Hanuman stands facing the west, protecting the temple. There are many medicinal plants here, equivalent to the Mruthasanjeevani, and the fort is equivalent to Maruthwamala. The water in the pond is medicinal and considered as effective as nectar itself. The temple lay neglected for a long time,e but the effulgence was revealed to some women who had gone there to pluck arrowroot. The self-originated idol is consecrated open to the sky. Every year, the flood waters immerse the temple in it. Many monkeys are seen there, and feeding them is an offering to the Goddess. The water in the pond is considered sacred, and pudding made with arrowroot is one of the foremost offerings here. All these verify the truth of the legends about the origin of the temple. The main subordinate deity is Vettekkaran, consecrated to the north of the sanctum. Devotees worship here for getting good education, prosperity and a good married life. Renovation work is underway to make it more convenient for the devotees to worship here.
