Rayamangalam, Perumbavoor, Ernakulam district, Kerala · 10.1091°, 76.5004°
A goddess temple set inside a surviving sacred grove near Perumbavoor, counted among the 108 Durga temples traditionally ascribed to Parasurama; long held by local families, it now comes under the Travancore Devaswom Board.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The infant girl Kamsa seized in place of Krishna, an incarnation of Yoga-Nidra, is said to have slipped from his grasp into the air and settled in this forest as the goddess of the grove.
