Origin story
Muchilottu Bhagavathi is remembered as a learned girl of Perinchellur who was humiliated in a challenge of scholarship and later revealed as divine. She is the tutelary goddess of the Vaniyar community of North Malabar, and her Theyyam is performed in the serene satvika mode.
Her gentle movements, mirror and fan express beauty, wisdom and compassion, and she is invoked for learning, harmony and family welfare. The Kaliyattam festival in her temples places special emphasis on annadanam, the serving of food to all who come.
