Vallachira Bagavan Bagavathi Temple

Vallacahira bagavan & bagavathi temple is located around 12 km from Trissur bus stand, Trissur district, Kerala State, India. The temple is surrounded by field, coconut trees and a pond. In front of the temple, a 3 acres pond is present. Till date the water in the pond has never dried up. The temple is surrounded by 2 big banyan trees.

No one is able to judge the age of the temple and the pond. On bharani festival, the goddess bagavathi will travel on an elephant & go around the pond. No where we can find such a procession

History of the temple:

The temple has 2 main deities 1)Lord Vishnu- bagavan 2)Devi kali- bagavathi

Lord Ganesh sits besides lord Vishnu.

Other deities include velichapadu and other gods located next to temple compound

It is believed that bagavan was the first god to be present in the temple and then bagavathi came.

There is a story behind bagavathi coming to vallachira. As mentioned no scholars were able to predict AbOUT the temples age. Earlier one old lady used to go to Melkavil bagavathi temple from vallachira which is around 3 km from vallachira. As she found very difficult to walk every day to the temple she requested Melkavil bagavathi for help. She told bagavathi the problem she is facing, pleased by her devotion Melkavil bagavathi told the old lady that Devi will come to vallachira and reside in the temple. By this the old lady can see and pray Devi every day.
