The Sacred Bhagavathi Circuit of Kerala
A Powerful Devi Pilgrimage Across God’s Own Country
By SouthGuru Holidays – Incredible South India
Kerala’s spiritual identity is deeply rooted in Devi worship. Across the state, Bhagavathi temples stand as living centers of Shakti devotion, blending mythology, ritual, and local tradition.
Among the most powerful Devi shrines are:
- Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple
- Paramekkavu Bhagavathy Temple
- Attukal Bhagavathy Temple
- Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple
Together, these temples form a spiritually intense Devi circuit representing different manifestations of Goddess Shakti — fierce protector, compassionate mother, healer, and guardian of dharma.
Kodungallur Bhagavathy – The Fierce Mother
Located in historic Kodungallur, this temple is one of Kerala’s most ancient and powerful Shakti shrines.
Short Myth
According to legend, after slaying the demon Darika, Goddess Bhadrakali arrived at Kodungallur in her fierce form. The temple is believed to stand at the very place where she rested after the battle. The famous Bharani festival reflects her intense and warrior aspect, celebrating the victory of good over evil.
Kodungallur represents Devi as the ultimate protector who destroys negativity.
Paramekkavu Bhagavathy – The Royal Guardian of Thrissur
Situated in the cultural capital of Kerala, Paramekkavu is one of the two main temples participating in the grand Thrissur Pooram.
Short Myth
It is believed that the Goddess traveled from Kodungallur to Thrissur to bless her devotees and chose Paramekkavu as her abode. During Thrissur Pooram, she symbolically meets Lord Shiva of Vadakkunnathan Temple, signifying divine unity.
Paramekkavu represents Devi as a regal and majestic presence guiding the land.
Attukal Bhagavathy – The Mother of Millions
Located in the capital city of Thiruvananthapuram, Attukal Bhagavathy is often called the “Sabarimala of Women.”
Short Myth
Legend says the Goddess appeared as a young girl to a local devotee and revealed herself as Kannaki, the heroine of the Tamil epic Silappathikaram. She later manifested at Attukal as Bhagavathy.
The Attukal Pongala festival holds a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of women for a religious event, symbolizing feminine devotion and unity.
Attukal represents the compassionate mother who listens to every prayer.
Chottanikkara Bhagavathy – The Divine Healer
Located near Ernakulam, this temple is renowned for spiritual healing.
Short Myth
The Goddess here is worshipped in three forms during the day — Saraswati in the morning, Lakshmi at noon, and Durga in the evening. It is believed that she removes mental distress and negative energies. Devotees say the Goddess personally intervenes to heal those suffering from unseen afflictions.
Chottanikkara represents Devi as the universal mother who restores balance and peace.
