Peruvemba, Palakkad district, Kerala · 10.7066°, 76.6917°
A Bhagavathy temple at Peruvemba in Palakkad district whose sanctum is left roofless, the idol standing under an asoka tree that is said never to have grown. Its main festival, Patham Padiyam, closes 41 days of lamp-lighting in the month of Vrischikam.
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.
A farm worker is said to have turned up a metal image while ploughing a paddy field; an astrologer called in by the landlord judged it a self-manifested form of Bhagavathy, and the temple was raised on the spot.
