Bhagavathy Temple

About Bhagavathy Temple:

Kurumba Bhagavati Temple is a Hindu temple at Kodungallur, Thrissur district, Kerala state, India. The idol of the goddess Bhadrakali in the temple is unique as it has eight hands with various attributes. One is holding the head of an Asura, another a sword, next an anklet, another a bell, and so on. Kurumba Bhagavati Temple is perhaps a memorial built by a Chera king to Kannaki, heroine of Ilango Adigal's Tamil classicSilappathikaram.
