Mythological Significance & History

Sree Pariyanampatta Bhagavathy Temple, also known as Riyanampatta Bhagavathy Temple, is a revered temple over 1,400 years old, dedicated to Bhagavathy, the divine Mother Goddess, widely worshipped as the Goddess of 14 Desams (regions).
The origin legend speaks of a Namboothiri who, after receiving blessings at the Mookambika Temple in Kollur, discovered the idol—or thidambu—in his own bundle while resting at Pariyanampatta. He immediately installed it there, with participation from chieftains of 14 desams under the guidance of the Thantri of Ikkaattumanakkal
