History & significance

A Bhagavathi shrine in southern Kerala whose presiding image is held to be swayambhu, self-manifested rather than installed. It serves as a local Devi centre in the Thiruvananthapuram district.

Sthala katha — the legend

The temple's origin story tells of a child who fell on a rock that then bled; astrologers read a divine presence in the sign, and worship at the spot grew into the temple.
