History of Temple
Kumaranalloor Devi Temple, a short drive from Kottayam, is one of central Kerala's best-loved Bhagavathy shrines. The goddess is worshipped as Katyayani, a fierce form of Parvati, and the old name of the place, Thingalkkadu, survives in local memory.
The annual Thrikarthika festival, with its kettukazhcha processions and lamps, is the temple's great occasion, when the whole countryside turns out to honour Kumaranalloor Amma.
