I visited the temple and found the dress code to be quite restrictive, allowing only men in vests without shirts. While I respect tradition, I believe it's important for places of worship to be inclusive and welcoming to all. It would be beneficial to consider a more inclusive dress code to accommodate diverse visitors while maintaining the sanctity of the temple.

The most famous festival of Kurumbakavu temple is the Bharani festival or Kavutheendal, which starts on the Bharani asterism, as per the Malayalam month of Meenam (March-April). The animal sacrifices that once were part of the festival in this temple are now banned, but the pilgrims still drink liquor and sing lewd songs, all the way from their villages to the shrine, as part of the ceremony. At the end of the festival, the temple closes and opens on the seventh day, after the Aswathi asterism. Another important festival at this temple is the Navarathri.

Jai mahakali🙏❤️ Greatest temple I have ever visited.. Very powerful.

Chettikulangara Amma (the main deity) is the daughter of Kodungallur Amma, brought to that place for the well being of all people at Onattukara (Mavelikara). I have gone to Kodungallur Temple from Guruvayur Temple. Bus charge was Rs.44. Diety of kodungallur amma is very big. You can see the amma from outside also very clearly. On side of amma, there is lord siva. Other deities residing outside are Kshetrapalakan, VasooriMala etc. Kshetrapalakan diety is very tall, you have to bent down & see the gods face inside the temple.There are lots of trees, each belongs to particular committee. During meena bharani, a velichappad representing the committee performs near their tree with sword. Main event of Bharani festival is the Aswathy Kaavutheendal, held on the day prior to Bharani asterism. And on this day devotees can witness a sea of red overruns the premises as a flurry of oracles (velichappad) dancing in a trance offer their prayers to the deity. It is a mystical experience for all who have a chance to view it. The devotion of the believers as they dance along with the oracles with spiritual euphoria is a truly riveting sight.

Goddess is a form of Mahakali and the presiding deity is referred to as Kurumbha Bagavathy. Legend has it that the Bagavathy slayed the demon Daruka and relieved sage Parasurama of his distress. The speciality of the temple is 6 foot figurine of the Goddess made of wood. Temple timings 4 am to 12 noon and 4 pm to 8 pm. Spacious car park with eateries is a boon to the devotees. Must visit temple when on a pilgrimage in and around Thrissur district.

Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple is one of the famous temples in Kerala. Ever since I heard about this religious place, I got a chance to visit it 3 times in my life. During my last visit to God's Own Country, I went to the Temple on a hot and sultry Sunday morning. It was extremely crowded as devotees flocked the Temple during Navaratri. There was a massive line, so we did not go inside the main building, but prayed from the outside. As always, I got a divine feeling when I was walking in the Temple Premises. It was such a beautiful sight to see everyone all decked up in their best attire, flowers adorned in their hair and kids laughing and running around as if they did not have any worries in the world. I wanted to take lots of photos so was clicking away as I took the steps around the premises. Just as my family and I were about to leave, a lady came up to me and asked me in Malayalam if I got the Prasadam. So I told her that we did not as it was totally crowded. Upon hearing this, she held out the betal leaf which had chandanam (Sandalwood Paste) smeared on it - and flower bunches and offered it to us. I felt so happy and blessed at that moment. I thanked her, turned and started walking towards the car. Then suddenly it struck me that I forgot to ask her name. So I turned and started walking, but the strangest thing is, I did not find her! Though I looked left and right, there was no sign of her. It was as if the Deity had come in the form of the Devotee and was the one who had offered us the prasadam. There is a saying in life, "Third Time Lucky" and coincidentally, this was my third visit to the Temple. If you visit Kodungallur, please ensure you visit this Temple.

Visited recently ,the feeling you get from Kodungallur Temple is something else. You will feel blessed for sure

Nice and serene place. The temple is well maintained, and the aura is unmatchable. It's located in the center of Kodungallur so everyone can easily reach here. Usually, the rush is not much and will get enough time for praying.. The car and bus parking area is spacious so that usually we will get accommodated there easily. There are small restaurants nearby for quick snacks. The ficus trees around are a treat to watch.

Holistic and positive vibe from the temple. I am sure if we feel some kind of negativity in life and needs an energy for the healthy forward moving just go to this temple pray a lot spend some time by sitting under trees by eating some presatham. And also little stalls are available so u can buy small small stuffs. Overall I loved this place.

I am a devote of kodungallor sree bhadrakali. She is very powerful and kind. She will help all. She is my mother🙏

It's very peaceful place . It's one of the oldest temple I have seen. The ideal of deities are magnificent. The people who come here come with uttermost devotion. The temple opens early in the morning around 5.

Review on 10th June 2018 A Spiritual Experience that is so surreal and have to be there to experience it. A must visit place if you are in Central Kerala. Fairly good quality Accomodation (We stayed in Hotel Indraprastham) A Temple built by Cheraman Perumal, dedicated to Bhadrakali & she is often praised by the devotees as Kannaki and Muthumari in Kodungallur. Another speciality of the place is the Kshetrapalakan who is believed to be growing larger Review on recent visit Visited this temple again and had a blissful Darshan (with all COVID restrictions, it is not the same anymore)

One of the best temples to visit in Kerala. The spiritual atmosphere this temple give is simply amazing.it feels like all your problems just washed away. Best time to visit is in the morning or the evening. if you didn't visit this place before just come only then you can feel it.

Praising blessed holy place. Kodungallur Devi Temple . Really your wishes will get fullfill when you pray for it whole heartedly.

A very divine place. The temple has a very unique 'layout'. The traditions are different. The temple is usually quite crowded. Go there after 10am if you wish to pray peacefully. Do not miss to pray at the moolasthanam located about half a km away as well.

The service done by the employees are good. We could pray for all poojas at a specified place and ur employees made adequate space for us. You can improve neatness near sanctum sacntorum. Above all we believe DEVI blessed US..
