Azhoor Sree Bhagavathy Temple

History

This famous Bhagavathy temple is situated near the Azhoor boat jetty, 2 km south of the famous Chirayinkeezhu Sarkara temple in Thiruvana-nthapuram District. The legend associated with the origin of this temple says that about 350 years ago, at Perumathura about 2 km away from the place where the temple is situated today, a man who was drawing toddy from a coconut tree saw an idol coming towards the shore from the sea. He took the idol and with the help of some friends consecrated the idol of Bhagavathy at a special place in Madanvila. Even today people talk about more some of the supernatural experiences that people had at that time which they associated with the Bhagavathy. Soon the people of Madanvila found it impossible to maintain the temple. So a group of families living in Azhoor took over the idol. They built a temple as per the norms of the times at the place where the temple stands today and consecrated the Bhagavathy there. Soon many devotees started giving their own experiences of how they achieved prosperity and experienced many unusual occurrences after they had worshipped the goddess here. From the very beginning, it was the Padukkalathil Thayyil family belonging to the Ezhava community that was managing the temple rites. The temple was constructed using coconut fronds and soon it started showing signs of decay. The people who were managing the temple at that time were not very keen on taking up the renovation of the temple. Then on 20th September 1982 Sri Madhavan of Karunthya veedu, who was one of the people who managed the temple had a vision. He then called a meeting of the members of the families who were managing the temple and the local people. Azhoor Trust was formed at that meeting and it is this trust that is managing the temple today.
