Seethadevi Lava Kusa Temple History and Significance

According to legend, after being abandoned by Lord Rama, Goddess Seetha sought refuge in Pulpally under the protection of Sage Valmiki.

The temple was constructed in the 18th century by Sri Pazhassi Raja, a prominent ruler of the region. A notable feature of the temple is the absence of leeches in its vicinity, attributed to a curse by Goddess Seetha after leeches bit her sons.
