Welcome
The abode of Sree Bhagavathy
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.
