Sree Nhangattiri Bhagavathy Temple is one of the oldest Durga Devi temples in the Valluvanad region of Malabar. It is also one of the few temples where the Devi faces the West. The temple also has a large sacrificial altar or “balippura”, which however does not represent an obstacle for Darshan from the outside.
Nhangattiri Temple is one of the 108 most important and famous Durga temples erected by Sage Parashurama. Located on the banks of Bharathapuzha, this temple has a calm atmosphere. The main specialty of this temple is that it is on the banks of Bharathapuzha which flows from south to north (almost 2 km) as in Kashi with Ganga flowing next to it, so bathing in the river from here is considered as equivalent to bathing in good business.
