Remarkable that the ancient Hindu rituals and practices are preserved here. It stands testimony to the ability of Hinduism to survive the onslaught of conversions and changes that pass of time brings about. The rituals here give you a bird's eye view how a simple way of worship of nature evolved to the present form thanks to the very powerful presiding deity. Any one visiting the temple with devotion will stand to benefit immensely.

Whenever someone call me to a drive , my answer will always be "YES". And this zeal has lead me to visit to this famous temple called "Bhagavathi Temple" which is situated in southern part of Thrissur district of Kerala.
When I was working in Cochin, one of my friend [who was Critical care Intensivist in a Hospital in Cochin] asked me to accompany him to shift his room to Kodungallur. As it was Sunday, without thinking much I agreed for his request.
Journey to Kodungallur from Ernakulam is amazingly picturesque. After finishing our work, we straight away headed to Bhagavathy Amma Temple. The name of the goddess in this temple is Bhadrakali (popularly known as "Kodungallur Amma"). The idol is unique because, it has eight hands that carry weapons and symbols including the head of one of the demon.!!
This temple is believed to be built by Parashurama. Temple architecture is typically Kerala style.Apart from Devi idol, there are idols of many dieties like Lord Shiva, Ganapathy etc.
There is a sacred pond towards left of temple, where devotees bathe before entering the main shrine.
Overall it was one among the best religious tour in Kerala apart from Padmanabha Swamy temple in Trivandrum and Shankaracharya temple in Kalady.
*Time to visit: Morning and evening hours where main prayers carried out.
* Do visit during Bharani Festival which is carried out in this temple during the month of March and April.

Kodungallur Bhagavathy temple based in Thrissur is one of the most powerful temples and highly divine places of kerala. Year on Year the amount of disciples increase coz of the faith that the goddess. Its been mentioned that people who are possessed or with certain similar issues if they visit this temple, with goddess Bhagvathy's blessings the person heals. I had recently visited the place. Incase devotees or travelller's who visit Thrissur or Guruvayoor temple, this should be a must visit temple....
