Located in Neelamperoor, which is nestled within the picturesque Kuttanad region and surrounded by a network of canals, this temple boasts a history spanning 1700 years.

Cheramanperumal, the Emperor of Kerala (250 - 300 AD), chose to lead a life as a Buddhist monk during his later years, and he spent his final days in Neelamperoor. It is widely believed that Cheramanperumal initially constructed the temple as a Buddha
more Vihara. Later on, the temple underwent a conversion and became dedicated to the Devi. The darshanam (sacred viewing) of Neelamperoor Palli Bhagavathy is oriented towards the north.
