History

Muthoor Sree Bhadrakali Temple is one of Kerala's four famous Bhadrakali Temples. The other three are Kodungalloor, Varanad and Panayannarkavu Devi Temples. These four temples are interrelated. According to an old saying the time of prime presence of Devi in these temples is as follows. At dawn at Kodungallor, noon at Varanad, dusk at Muthoor and midnight at Panayannarkavu. In Muthoor Devi Temple Sree Bhadrakali is worshipped as holding in one of her Ashtabahukkal (Eight Hands) the head of the Demon Darika after killing him. On the left and the right of the Devi are the children Sundari and Sumukhi more who alleviate Devi’s rage. There is a Mathrusala in the Devi Temple where the Sapthamathrukkal (Brahmi, Maheswari, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Varahi, Indrani, Chamundi) Ganapathy and Veerabhadran are worshipped. The construction of Muthoor Devi Temple is a rare one. It has a Malikappuram (upper storey), believed to be the abode of Vasoorimala. Inside the nalampalam there is a Sivan Kovil.
