This Devasthanam temple also known as the Kaliyuga Varada temple, has Lord Vishnu Maya in its cosmic enlightenment.

Lord Vishnu Maya is the divine child of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvathy Devi disguised as Koolivaka, who wished to live with human beings amidst their suffering and misery. This temple epitomises the significance of Lord Vishnu Maya’s avatar in the Kaliyug.

The shrine of Lord Vishnu Maya was brought to Peringottukara village by Paramacharya Velumuthappan Swamy Subsequently, it emerged as Peringottukara Devasthanam^[4]. It is believed that Lord Vishnu Maya Kuttichathan will bless his subjects and fill their lives with the divine light of hope and success, thereby bringing eternal happiness and salvation.

Dr. Unni Swamy is the current Devasthanadhipathi (Chief Priest) of Perungottukara Devasthanam.^[5]

History / Legend

The legend has it that, Lord Parama Siva en route his divine hunt to the dense forest heard a melodious song by the Yakshas and the Gandharvas. Captivated by the harmonious voice of the singer, Lord Shiva found himself mesmerised by the enchanted beauty, Koolivaka. Allured by her uncontainable charm, he expressed his desire in her and told that he wished for her to bear his child, and to be prepared for him when he is back from the royal hunt.

Greatly alarmed by the situation, Koolivaka prayed to goddess Parvathy Devi who appeared in front of her. To Parvathy Devi, Koolivaka revealed that she was a Yakshini named Manaswiny, a maid in Kailasa in her previous birth. She was punished by Parvathy Devi herself when she tried to suckle her son, Lord Ganapathy. The curse had caused her to live as a tribal woman and her salvation would come on breastfeeding the son of Lord Shiva before she lost her virginity. Devi disclosed that her meeting up with Lord Shiva and his passion for her was her pre-determined fate. Devi also agreed to disguise herself as Koolivaka and appear before Lord Shiva and informed her that Sivananda, the son born through the divine union of Lord Siva and Devi will be the destroyer of Jalandhara, a powerful asura.

Lord Siva and goddess Parvathy appeared in front of Koolivaka and blessed her by allowing her to foster the child and assigned a baby buffalo for his protection. When Sivananda was mature enough to find out the whereabouts of his real parents, he proceeded to the abode of Lord Siva on his buffalo blowing his favourite Eezhara. As he was not permitted inside, Sivananda assumed the form of Lord Vishnu and is hence known as “Vishnumaya.” Vishnumaya epitomises the destructive forces of Lord Siva and the noble-calmness of Lord Vishnu.

Deities

Supreme Deity

The supreme deity of Peringottukara Devasthanam Sree Vishnumaya Swamy Temple is Lord Vishnu Maya.

Lord Vishnu Maya Swamy is the divine child of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvathy Devi disguised as a tribal woman, Koolivaka. Vishnu Maya epitomises the destructive forces of Lord Siva and the noble-calmness of Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu Maya wished to live with the human beings amidst their suffering. Lord Vishnu Maya is Sivanandana akin to Sastha, Muruka or Vighneswara.

Lord Vishnumaya Swamy's birthday is celebrated as The Festival of Devasthanam Thiravellattu. Thiravellattu Mahotsavam is the most prominent of three festivals that take place in the temple. It takes place on a certain day in the Malayalam month of Makaram. During the festival, the idol of Lord Vishnumaya is brought out from the Kushikalpam.

Prime Deity

Sree Bhuvaneswari Devi is the prime deity of the Devasthanam Peringottukara Devasthanam Sree Vishnumaya Swamy Temple. It was this deity that gave advice to Velumuthappan Swamy, the first chief priest of the temple to install the idol of Sree Vishnumaya.

The name Bhuvaneswary is a Sanskrit compound of the words Bhuvana Iśwari, meaning ‘Goddess of the world’ or ‘Queen of the universe’. She has 4 hands of which it is believed that two are to bless her devotees. She carries weapons such as Paasam and Angusam.

After the Festival of Devasthanam Thiravellattu, the Thottampattu festival takes place. This is primarily celebrated to appease Bhuvaneswary Devi who according to popular belief played a major role in bringing Sree Vishnumaya Swami to Peringottukara. The idol of Devi is taken out of the temple during the festival. A procession that includes playing traditional instruments and singing hymns that praise the Devi’s virtues are a part of this festival.

Festivals

There are three main festivals that are celebrated at the Devasthanam Peringottukara Devasthanam Sree Vishnumaya Swamy Temple every year.

Festival of Devasthanam Thiravellattu

The Festival of Devasthanam Thiravellattu commemorates Lord Vishnumaya's birthday. Thiravellattu Mahotsavam takes place on a certain day in the Malayalam month of Makaram. During the festival, the idol of Lord Vishnumaya along with the idol of Velumuthappan Swamy, the first chief priest of the temple is also brought out from the Kushikalpam.

In 2022, the Festival of Devasthanam Thiravellattu was celebrated from 30th December and ended on 3rd January. Dance forms such as Thiruvathirakali, Mohiniyattam, Panchavadyam, Hanuman Dance amongst major art forms were performed as a part of the celebrations. A music concert by Harish Sivaramakrishnan of Agam band was also staged.^[6]

Kalamezhuthupattu Festival

The Kalamezhuthupattu Festival is celebrated during the Malayalam month of Karkidakam & Vrichikam (July) of every year. This is also the period of Mandalakalam which is considered as an auspicious time.

During this festival, the images of the deities are drawn on the floor with natural powders. ^[7]This is called kalam. It is believed that collecting the dust from the kalam and worshipping it at a holy place in the house is considered to be sacred as it brings prosperity and wards off evil spirits from one’s home.

Thottampattu Festival

Soon after The Festival of Devasthanam Thiravellattu, the Thottampattu festival^[8] takes place. This is primarily celebrated to appease Bhuvaneswary Devi who according to popular belief played a major role in bringing Sree Vishnumaya Swami to Peringottukara. The idol of Devi is taken out of the temple during the festival. A procession that includes playing traditional instruments and singing hymns that praise the Devi’s virtues are a part of this festival.
