Synopsis

Discover the sacred world of Chottanikkara Devi, one of Kerala's most revered forms of the Divine Mother.

CHOTTANIKKARA DEVI takes you on a fascinating journey into the history, mythology, rituals and living devotional traditions of the Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple.

Discover the sacred traditions of Melkavu and Keezhkavu, the fierce presence of Bhadrakali, and the spiritual significance of Guruthi Pooja. Explore the stories associated with Kannappan, the temple's sacred stones, Adi Shankaracharya, and the traditions connecting Chottanikkara with other celebrated shrines.
