Kadampuzha Devi Temple is a Hindu temple and pilgrimage center at Kadampuzha in Malappuram district, Kerala, India. The main deity of this temple is Goddess Parvati/Durga in the form of a huntress. There is no idol of Goddess in this temple, and she is worshipped in a pit. The presence of Lord Ganesha is also believed to be with the Goddess, and there are sub-shrines for Lord Sastha and serpent deities. A separate Shiva temple exists near the temple, called 'Madambiyarkavu'. Both these temples are under the control of Malabar Devaswom Board.
Offerings
[edit]The importance of performing Vazhivadus in this temple is that the devotees are facilitated to witness the Vazhivadu performance by posing at the door step of the Sreekovil which is closer to the idol as there is no Sopanam in front of the Sreekovil.
The most important Vazhivadus here are the Poomoodal and Muttarukkal. Devotees can book the offering through the official online website : https://www.kadampuzhadevaswom.in/
Various other Vazhivadus can also be performed, the details of which are provided elsewhere.
