Vadakkanthara Sree Thirupuraikkal Bhagavathi Temple - History details

In Palakkad’s Vadakkanthara, this Bhagavathi shrine venerates Kannaki as Thirupuraikkal and preserves Kerala wooden architecture beside an older Vishnu temple. Local memory recalls the peedam rescued after late eighteenth‑century incursions, and special worship falls on Tuesdays and Fridays. The calendar centres on the Valiya Aarattu in the Malayalam month of Medam, while the grand Vadakkanthara Vela is celebrated once every three years.
