Legend Of Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple
Legends say that Lord Parasurama sensed Goddess Kalis presence at a place about 500 meters south of the present temple. He offered Poojas, in the old Dravidian style. It is believed that the Goddess herself suggested that the type of Pooja done by Parusurama need be repeated only once in a year on the Aswathy Asterism day of the Malayalam Month of Meenam (i.e. During the last day of present Bharani festival of the temple). In a later stage the Prathishta shifted to the present site. Another Legend says Lord Parusurama created Kerala extending from Gokaranam of Karnataka in North to Kanyakumari of Present Tamilnadu in the South and founded 192 temples. those are 64 Vishnu Temples and 64 Durga temples. Among the Durga temples, four temples are considered very important. In the south Balambika at Kanyakumari, in the east Hemabika in Karimala (near Palghat), in the north Mookambika at Kollur and in the west Lokambika at Kodungallur.
