പൂരം മഹോത്സവം 2025 | കളരിവാതുക്കൽ ഭഗവതി ക്ഷേത്രം കണ്ണൂർ | Pooram Mahotsavam 2025 | Kalarivathukkal Bhagavathy Temple Kannur
Kalarivathukkal Bhagavathy Temple, Bhadrakali Shrine located near Valapattanam river, is the family shrine of Chirakkal Royal Family. The deity of the shrine is the fierce form of Bhadrakali.
Kalarivathukkal Bhagavathy is considered as the mother of the ancient martial
art Kalarippayattu and hence the name. The holy shrine is one of the Devi temple triads of the
erstwhile Chirakkal Kingdom. The other two being Cherukunnu Annapoornashwari
Temple and Tiruvarkadu Bhagavathy Temple(Madayi kavu). The mythology says that
Annapoornashwari came from Kasi to Chirakkal in a boat along with Kalarivatukkalamma and
Madayikkavilamma who were her mates; to see the Krishna Temple and never returned. The
Chirakkal Kings were the successors of Kolathiris' who in-turn was the direct descendants of
the Mooshika kings. Mooshika of North and Ay of South were the oldest dynasties of Kerala.
The Ay dynasty eventually became extinct but the Mooshika was able to sustain. The later name
of Mooshika King was Kolathirippad after the amalgamation of Aryan culture to the local one by
Brahmins. The Kolathiris' relocated their capital from Ezhimala to Chirakkal near Valapattanam
river. The temple was once owned by Vadakke illam and was acquired by Chirakkal Kovilakom.
