Aryankuzhi Devi Temple

The Aryankuzhi Devi Temple, located in Aryankuzhi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is dedicated to Goddess Parvati (Aryankuzhi Bhagavathi).

“आर्यनकुझी की माँ भगवती — करुणा की देवी, शक्ति की प्रतीक, और भक्ति की प्रेरणा।”

― Aryankuzhi Devi Temple

The central shrine houses a swayambhu (self-originated) Panchaloha idol of the Devi, revered as a powerful manifestation of Goddess Shakti.

Mythological Significance & History

Legend narrates that while playing, children struck a sedimentary rock, which began to bleed—indicating divine presence. Astrologers confirmed its sanctity, and a temple was established at that spot.

Significance of the Temple

The temple is revered for its swayambhu idol and for embodying the divine feminine power of Shakti.
It houses several sub-shrines including Lord Ganesha, Nagaraja, Brahmarakshasu, Maadan Thampuran, and Yakshi Amma.
Major festivals celebrated here include:
Navarathri in Kanni (September–October) with Vidyarambham on Vijayadasami day
Vrischikam Mandala Mahotsavam (Mandala season)
Annual festival in Meenam (March–April) featuring Parakkezhunnallippu (elephant procession), Pongala, Kuthiyottam, cultural events, and fireworks
Other observances include Vishu (Medam) and Aadi Chovva (Karkidakam) rituals.
