Karikkakom Sree Chamundi Devi Temple - History details

Over 600 years old, this Thiruvananthapuram shrine venerates Chamundi in three forms—Maha, Raktha and Bala. Historically, the Raktha Chamundi sanctum was opened to test truthfulness: accused persons placed 21 coins and swore oaths before the deity. The temple’s nagar kavu (serpent grove), Pongala festival, and Dravidian architecture make it a living seat of justice lore and Shakta devotion.
