History of Temple
Dakshina Mookambika Temple at North Paravur in Ernakulam district is a southern seat of the goddess Mookambika of Kollur. The sanctum stands in the middle of a lotus pool, and the compound includes shrines to Ganapathy, Kartikeya, Mahavishnu, Yakshi, Hanuman and Veerabhadran.
Legend tells of the Thampuran of Paravur, a devoted pilgrim to Kollur who could no longer make the journey in old age. The goddess appeared to him in a dream and asked him to install her near his palace, so that he could have darshan every day. Navaratri is the temple's great festival.
