പെരുംകളിയാട്ടം 2025 | മുച്ചിലോട്ട് ഭഗവതിക്ഷേത്രം കരിപ്പൊടി കാസർകോട് | Perumkaliyattam 2025 | Muchilot Bhagavathi Temple Karipody Kasargod
Periyodi Achan, a devout devotee, from the Perumudi Nair Tharavadu (family) was suffering from leprosy. One day he met a divine girl near Karivellur. She gave him Bhasmam (sacred ash). After consuming this Bhasmam, he recovered completely from the disease.
Permudi Nair went in search of the girl who saved his life and decided to stay back in Karivellur until he found her. But she was elusive. A divine voice supposedly commanded Perumudi Nair to go back to his home in Karipody. As he headed back home he felt the presence of Devi with him. Upon reaching the Thrikkannad Shiva Temple, he kept his umbrella beside him and started praying. After completing his prayers, he tried to lift the umbrella, but to his surprise, he could not do so. Apparently the divine presence was still with him. He could only lift the umbrella after promising to do whatever Bhagavathi desired. After reaching home, he kept the umbrella near a Pala tree. The umbrella started moving by itself.
This told him that this was the ideal location for the temple. Perumudi Achan directed a boy from Vaniya Community to light a lamp near the tree and later constructed a Muchilot temple at that location. After constructing the temple, Permudi Nair tried to perform Kaliyattam. However, Muchilot Bhagavathi wanted Mannarkkadan Gurukkal to perform the Theyyam of Muchilot Bhagavathi at the first Kaliyattam. And though Gurukkal was 80 years old and blind he observed the customary seven days' vratham (fasting) and prayers prior to the performance. At the end of it, he got back his sight and could perform Muchilot Bhagavathi's Theyyam without any difficulties. The festival is conducted to commemorate this incident.
