History
How Devi came to Kochi from Thiruvananthapuram, and the story of the Panchaloha idol.
ॐ श्रीमाता श्रीमहाराज्ञी श्रीमत्सिंहासनेश्वरी ।
चिदग्निकुण्डसम्भूता
देवकार्यसमुद्यता ॥
ശ്രീ കാട്ടുപറമ്പിൽ ദേവീ ക്ഷേത്രം
A Bhagavathy temple at Chembumukku, Vazhakkala, Kochi, where devotees have come for Devi's grace since 1989.
Kattuparambil Devi Kshethram is a small, traditionally built Bhagavathy temple in the Kakkanad–Vazhakkala area of Kochi. Its story goes back to an old temple in Thiruvananthapuram. Devi is the main deity, with Nagadevatha and Ganapathy also in the temple grounds.
The Panchaloha idol of Devi, a picture of peace, compassion and endless grace, was installed on 19 January 1989. The poojas follow the tradition set by Adi Shankaracharya, under the guidance of Swami Jitendriyananda Saraswathy.
