Kadampuzha Devi Temple

 

One of the few temples where Goddess Durga is worshipped in the Parashakthi form, Kadampuzha Devi Temple is located in Malappuram district, Kerala, India. The temple is unique as there is no idol in the temple.

Kadampuzha, Malappuram district is just 2 km from the east of Vettichira Junction, in between Valanchery and Kottakkal on NH-17. The temple is located in Marakkara Panchayath in Tirur Taluk, Malappuram District of Kerala, India.

Daily offerings

There are two main daily rituals at the Kadampuzha Devi Temple.

• Poomoodal (covering the deity under a heap of freshly picked flowers) is the highest puja done in the temple. The Poomoodal offering is being done between 0900-1100 after which the temple will be closed after morning pujas by 1100.
• Muttarukkal, another offering, involves breaking coconuts before the deity by the pujari, correctly into two equal halves, and is used for warding away problems in the life of the devotees. The word itself means "keeping away obstacles". If an offered coconut fails to be broken into two exact halves, then fresh coconuts are broken until one is broken "correctly" - ensuring that the problem has been solved by the divine interference of the deity.
•  “Muttu” means ”obstacle” and “Arukkal “ means “to cut”. So Muttarukkal literally means to “cut away any obstacles”. The obstacles may be of many forms, it could be illness, an obstacle to good health, lack of business growth, obstacles due to bad influences etc. There are very many predefined obstacles for which this offering could be done by the devotee.Coconuts for the offering could either be brought by the devotee or could be purchased from the Devaswom counter. 

The Muttarukkal offering is being done only in the morning i.e. between 0500 and 0700 on weekdays. On Sundays the timings for the Muttarukkal offering is also allowed between 1500-1745 in addition to the morning time. The counter timings in the evenings are between 1530-1700 on Sundays.
