The Malamekkara Mulluthara Devi Temple is a Hindu temple located in Malamekkara, Pathanamthitta district, Kerala, India.[1][2]
Legend
Throughout history, the temple has been used as a training center for Kalari and has been home to Kaniyars who taught Ezhuthu Kalari, Ayurveda, and Astrology.[1] The main ritual of the temple is Kuthiyottam, a dance form created to commemorate the triumph of the goddess Parashakti over the demon Mahishasura.[1] The dancers are considered to be the injured soldiers of the goddess. One of the most renowned festivals held at the temple is Jeevitha Ezhunnullippu and Appindi Vilakku, which takes place in the month of Kumbha (late February to early March).[3][1]
