Sri Emoor Bhagavathy Temple History and Significance

The temple's origin is linked to a legend involving Kurur and Kaimukku Namboothiris, who regularly traversed the dense Vadamala forest to worship Goddess Durga. One day, they witnessed the goddess's hands emerging from a lake. In their devotion, they grasped the hands, which then turned to stone. This event led to the construction of the temple at Kallekulangara, with the deity's hands enshrined in the sanctum. The temple is also associated with Adi Shankara, who established the worship practices, envisioning the goddess as Saraswathy in the morning, Lakshmi at noon, and Durga in the evening.
