Kadampuzha(5 km away from Highway-Vettichira) Devi Temple is a renowned temple and pilgrimage center in Malappuram District, Kerala. Mighty Goddess Durga is worshipped by number of devotees, in this temple. The Devi temple is administered by Malabar Devaswom Board, under the Government of Kerala, India.
All the works and acts of the temple are supervised by the Variar family and non hereditary appointed trustees. Two rituals are mainly performed in Kadampuzha on daily basis, namely ‘Poomoodal’ and ‘Muttarukkal’.
Poomodal(using flowers) is the ritual of embellishing the idol with fresh Chetthy flowers, while the second ritual is about breaking coconuts into two equal parts before the goddess by the priest. It is believe that by performing the ritual of Muttarukkal, the Goddess removes all the hurdles from the life of her devotees. If the offered coconut is not broken into two equal halves, then other fresh coconuts are broken until one is not broken into considered manner – making sure the obstacle is gone away due to the kindness of Durga Devi.
