Njettayil Annapoorneswary Temple

History

This temple is in Cherthala. In ancient times, there was a temple of Yakshiyamma at this site. When Sree Narayana Gurudeva came here, he removed many of the idols that were lying here and there in the Kavu. He kept the idol of Bhoothakala Nagayakshy and asked the people to worship Goddess Annapoorneswary there. Years later, after an astrological consultation, the Goddess was consecrated in a temple. The Bhajana madam of Lord Subrahmanya there was converted into a temple. The idol of Bhoothkala Yakshiyamma was consecrated in another sanctum. Ganapathy, Shasthaav, Ghandakarnan, Bhadrakali, Brahmarakshass, Arukula swamy, Nagaraja and Nagayakshi are also consecrated here. Ponkala is more offered here every day to please the stars. Shashti, Chathayam, the first Sunday of the month and Pournami are important here. There is a beautiful garden of all nakashathra trees, each representing a different star. The annual festival lasts for 7 days in the month of Medam, concluding on the day of the star Uthram. Thiruvoott for children is an important ritual during these days. The temple is managed by a Trust.
