Valayanad Devi Temple

Valayanad Devi Temple


                    The Valayanad Devi Temple was erected in the 14th century by the Zamorins, and this temple is one of the most favourite sacred spots to be visited in Kozhikode. This wonder of 14th-century Dravidian architecture stands apart from all other nearby temples. It is said that it was due to the blessings of their family deity, Valayanad Vagabathi, that the Zamorins emerged victorious over the powerful King Valluva Kolathiri. They prayed and pleased the Goddess to come over and reside in their palace. The Goddess consented, and the temple was built in her honour. The Devi is worshipped and revered by all devotees. Idols of Shiva, Lord Ayyappa, and Vighneswara are also worshipped in this temple. Kuruthy Tarpanam is one of the important festivals that is conducted here.
