Legend Of Mullackal Devi Temple
There are different legends about the origin of the temple. A Thampuran of the Chompakasseri royal family had dwelt at the very spot where the temple stands now. He grew a jasmine plant in the palace courtyard and tended it with care, One evening as he stood admiring the flowering plant, he saw a feminine figure of extraordinary beauty and charm picking some flowers. The Thampuran understood that it was none other than the Devi herself standing in all splendour and glory. He pleaded Her to bless the place always with Her presence. The Devi granted his request and was thus installed there. According to another tradition, once a Brahmin devotee of Devi came here from Kolathunand. When he arrived at Mullakkel it was dusk, the time for evening pooja. He, therefore, went to the nearby tank for bath keeping the idol of the Devi which he had carried,under a jasmine plant. When he returned he found the idol rooted to the ground he tried with all his might but the idol could not be moved. The Brahmin understood the divine manifestation, built a temple and installed the Devi in it.
