The presiding deity of the temple is Goddess Devi (Durga). She is a powerful form of the Divine Mother.The temple also has sub-deities including Sree Ganapathy and Lord Siva. The history of Koipallikarazhma Devi Temple is rooted in ancient traditions. According to legend, a member of the Kuntil Mallissery Mana from Thrissur, on a pilgrimage, carried an idol of Goddess Durga. During his return journey, at a place called Thituavimkunnu, he found the remains of an ancient temple and a divine effulgence. He placed the idol there.



Festivals

The Temple has a number of festivals. The important ones are :

Vishu Utsavam
The Vishu Utsavam is the most important festival of the temple, falling on the first day of the Malayalam month of Medam (typically April 14th or 15th). The festivities commence much earlier, around the third week of March, with 'Parakkezhunnellethu'. During this ritual, a replica of the Devi idol is taken in a palanquin-like structure called 'Jeevitha' (made of timber and velvet, adorned with golden decorations) in a procession to every Hindu household in Thalayar and nearby villages. Devotees receive the Devi with offerings of paddy, plantains, rice, and jaggery in a 'Para' (a traditional wooden measure), an offering known as 'Parayideel'. This procession can take about twenty days.

Navaratri
Navaratri is another significant festival celebrated at the Koipallikarazhma Devi Temple, typically in the Malayalam month of Kanni (September/October). This nine-night festival is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Devi in her various forms, involving special prayers, chanting, and devotional activities to invoke her blessings.
