The temple is devoted to Bhagavathy the divine Mother Goddess in her protective manifestation. Embraced by traditional Kerala architecture, it reflects regional kavu (grove) styles. Daily rituals include simple poojas and lighting of lamps, performed by local priests, offering a tranquil and sacred atmosphere to worshippers seeking blessings for family well‑being and prosperity.
Festivals
The Temple has a number of festivals. The important ones are :
Thiruvonam Pongala Festival
Celebrated on Kumbham Thiruvonam, this vibrant event sees women devotees gathering to offer Pongala (sacred rice cooked in earthen pots). The temple and adjoining roads fill with rows of hearths as flame is passed from the sanctum’s divine fire, connecting the community in devotional unity.
Annual Kodiyettu & Arattu
Held in late winter or early spring, the temple marks its yearly cycle by hoisting the ceremonial flag (Kodiyettu), followed by days of poojas, community feasts, cultural performances, and culminating in Arattu the idol’s ritual immersion in nearby waters, symbolizing divine cleansing and renewal.
