History & significance

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.

Sthala katha — the legend

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.
