Sree Mookkumpuzha Devi Temple

History

This temple is at Karunagapally, near Alappad in Kollam district. Before the construction of the present temple, the consecration was on a red sandstone platform. There is no idol with a definite figure. It is an eight-sided Sivalinga type consecration. This is decorated with the image of the Goddess with sandalwood paste. The temple has the sea, the river and water bodies around it. Legends say that the Goddess and her retinue were going in a country boat from Kozhikode when it stopped at this place, and the Goddess sat on the shore. This later became the temple. As it was the serpents that protected the goddess in more those days, that concept is followed even today. Pujas are offered for the triumvirate of devis. The present temple is built with Krishna shila, wood and copper plates. One of the special rituals here is the Pongala offered every day. Meenoott, feeding the fish, is done on the day of Sree Bhootha Bali during the annual festival. Sarvakaaryasidhi pooja is performed on all Tuesdays. People of all castes and religions come to worship in this temple.
