Valayanad Bhagavathi is the family deity of the Zamorin Kings ( Padinhare Kovilakam), who ruled Kozhikode in the medieval period. Legends say that in a fight between the Zamorin and Valluva Konathiri (the king of Valluvanad), the Zamorin got defeated in spite of having better military and financial might. The Zamorin pondered this, and decided that the Bhagavathy's blessings were with Valluvakonathiri. The Zamorin undertook Tapas in disguise, at Thirumanthamkunnu temple, the family temple of Valluvakonathiri, until Devi manifested before him. The Zamorin requested Bhagavathy to come to his kingdom. While they were traveling, Devi told Zamorin that whenever he hesitates and turns back to check whether Devi was with him, she will return immediately. After some time, when the jingling of her dance-bells could not be heard, the Zamorin looked back. Immediately Devi told him that she wouldn't come any further, but as a reward for the Zamorin's devotion, she would throw her bangle, and the spot where it fell would have her presence. This bangle rotated for a week and landed at the place where the temple now stands. The place where the bangle rotated for a week came to be known as Azhchavattom and the place where the bangle fell became Thiruvalayanad.

Authentic Kerala Temple. Great experience being there. I would suggest to go by 6pm if you want to avoid crowds and wait in queue.

This is a unique Devi Temple in this area. This is Saptha Maatruka Temple. In the garbha gudi (Sanctum Santorum) we can have darshana of all the Seven Mother Deities. Big temple - Kerala Style. You habe first climb the stairs and then enter into the temple - take care tha men should enter bare chested and wearing a dhoti or a panche and ladies ot is preferably a saree / chudidar. There are temples of 1- Sri Matha Saraswati Devi 2- Lord Ganesha 3- Lord Shiva 4- Lord Ayappa 5- Important Deity Apart from the main Seven Mother Deities. Daily pooja happens here and it is a fantastic - calm - serene place. If you have not brought any dhothi / panche etc - there is a shop right opposite to the temple where you can buy one. Kindly visit this place once. Nearby Landmarks 1- Thali Temple 2- NSTI Calicut / ATI Calicut 3- Kozhikode Beach

I basically love most temples in Kerala not because my native is Kerala but for the divinity and tranquility. It's so calm, clean and so very different from other temples. Tend to get so much of positive vibe.

Peaceful. I had been to the temple in 2020. Today, I had the second visit 19 March 2022. Sharing some pics. It is prohibited to take pics inside the temple, but taking pics outside is allowed. There is also a 'kutti chathan' temple outside.

Very nice place, well maintained

The powerfull Sri Valayanad Kavilamma Devi will always be there when you are in need of help. Pray 🙏 to her daily 🙏
