district. It is believed that a family that came from Uppala in the north
brought the Bhagavathy and consecrated her here. The temple was under the
family for a long time. Around 25 years ago, it was given to the Araya Samajam, formed with 250 families as members. Then the temple was renovated. The main
deity is Goddess Bhadrakali with Vasoorimala, Nagaraja, Gulikan, Pottan Daivam
and Muthappan as subordinate deities. There is the practice of taking turmeric,
pepper and money contributed by all the families to Kodungaloor Bhagavathy
temple and offering it to the Vassoorimala there. The
more
annual festival is for ten
days beginning on the 10th of Meenam. Devotees believe that the
goddess protects them from dreaded diseases like Smallpox and Chickenpox.
