Location
An interesting legend associates itself with the temple. According to it, Goddess Bhagvati agreed to appear before a holy man but disappeared when she saw a number of people waiting for her. The holy man had, in his excitement, spread the news throughout the village which resulted in a devotees thronging in large number. However, the devotees did see her upraised hand as she was emerging from the temple. Since then, the deity is worshipped in three forms here - as Sarasawati in the morning, as Lakshmi in the noon and as Durga in the evening. Navrathri is celebrated with much fervour in this temple. It is 8 km from Palakkad.
