History of Temple

Uthralikavu, at Wadakkanchery in Thrissur district, is the shrine of Rudhira Mahakali and is famed for its annual pooram, one of the largest in central Kerala.

The festival brings together caparisoned elephants, percussion ensembles and fireworks from neighbouring villages, and the goddess is honoured as the guardian of the Thalappilly countryside. The temple remains a powerful symbol of local devotional life.
