Mannarasala Nagaraja Temple<\/h2>\r\n

Where a Brahmin Lady Gave Birth to a Five-Headed Snake Child.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is a temple in\u00a0Kerala\u00a0whose legend has it that a Brahmin lady at this temple gave birth to a five-headed snake child. Can you believe this? As per the legends, centuries back, an unexpected and huge fire broke out in the forest around the dwelling place of\u00a0Nagaraja\u00a0which burnt down the forest and the serpents in the forest were injured and burnt. A childless couple, Vasudeva and Sreedevi<\/strong> who were the inhabitants of\u00a0Mannarasala Illam\u00a0at the time nursed the serpents back to health with utmost care and devotion. Nagaraja who was gratified by this act of the couple made an appearance before them and said that he himself would incarnate as their son and stay here permanently in the form of a serpent. Thus, Sreedevi gave birth to two sons: a five-headed snake child and a human child.<\/p>\r\n

Of all the places of serpent worship in the world, none is more legendary and awe-inspiring than Mannarasala Nagaraja Temple<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Kerala, as it is blessed and envisaged by the creator of\u00a0Kerala,\u00a0Lord Parasurama<\/strong>. Nestled in a forest glade and filled with images of snakes of various sizes and shapes, the famous\u00a0Nagaraja Temple of Mannarasala\u00a0<\/strong>is dedicated to the serpent god, Nagaraja. The legends and unique rituals associated with this temple are beyond expectations. This is the only temple in the world where the pooja and other rituals are carried out by a woman whom the devotees fondly call\u00a0Mannarasala Amma. This unique temple is situated in\u00a0Haripad, Alleppey<\/a>\u00a0district.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chengannur Mahadeva Temple<\/h2>\r\n

Which Celebrates Menstruating Goddess<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Though sounds strange, there is a temple in\u00a0Kerala\u00a0that celebrates its menstruating Goddess. What makes\u00a0Chengannur Mahadeva Temple<\/strong> unique and unusual from other temples in\u00a0Kerala\u00a0is that it ascribes a human trait to the divine deity \u2013 Goddess Parvati menstruates here. The temple of this bleeding Goddess is situated in Chengannur, in the\u00a0Alleppey<\/a> district of Kerala and Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathy are the presiding deities here.<\/p>\r\n

The unique festival of this temple connected to the menstruation of Goddess Parvathy Devi is known as \u2018THRIPUTHARATTU\u2019 and is regarded as a symbol of fertility. The four-day festival is celebrated when the sign of menstruation is seen on the vesture of Devi. The senior woman of a Brahmin family, Thazhamon Madom<\/strong> where the tantris of Sabarimala reside is called upon to confirm if the Devi is menstruating. Once it is confirmed, soon Devi’s idol will be shifted into a small room (thriputhu room) off the sanctum sanctorum and the temple remains closed for four days, marking the beginning of the\u00a0Thriputharattu Festival. ‘Bleeding Goddess’ and menstruation signs on her clothing? This is quite bizarre and absolutely beyond one’s imagination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple<\/h2>\r\n

Where Verbally Abusing the Goddess is a Ritual<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Imagine thousands of devotees verbally abusing and shouting lewd, crude, offensive, and abusive cries at their goddess as a form of worship! Weird… isn’t it? Dedicated to Goddess Bhadrakali, who is a form of Goddess Kali, Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0Thrissur district of\u00a0Kerala\u00a0is one of the rarest temples in the world where devotees abuse the deity during the annual\u00a0Bharani Festival\u00a0of the temple. And this ritual is believed to please the goddess.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The bizarre seven-day\u00a0Bharani Festival\u00a0begins with the ritual known as ‘Kozhikkallu Moodal’<\/strong> that involves the sacrifice of cocks and the shedding of their blood to appease the Goddess Kali and her demons who take delight in blood offerings. During the festival, the temple oracles (Velichappad) dress like the goddess and are said to be possessed by her, wearing red apparel, and carrying swords, running around the temple in a confused trance state. They hit their heads with the sickle-shaped sword and blood pours freely. They enter the temple and yell out lewd, bawdy, abusive cries at the goddess. This is followed by the ritual of purification the next day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thiruvarpu Sree Krishna Temple<\/h2>\r\n

Where the Deity Lord Krishna is Always Hungry.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Did you know the deity Lord Krishna of\u00a0Thiruvarpu Sree Krishna Temple<\/strong> is always hungry? This is quite interesting! It is believed that if nivedyam (offering to the deity) is not offered to the Lord immediately after Abhishekam (pouring pure milk or water on the head of the deity) Lord Krishna would feel hungry as a result of which the waist belt of the Lord would fall away from His body. So \u2018strong\u2019 is Lord Krishna\u2019s \u2018hunger pang\u2019 that the\u00a0Thiruvarpu Temple stays open even during eclipse times when all the temples across the country close as it is considered inauspicious; so that Lord Krishna doesn\u2019t go hungry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Thiruvarpu Sree Krishna Temple\u00a0is beautifully placed on the banks of the Meenachil River<\/strong> in the\u00a0Kottayam\u00a0district of Kerala.One strange belief among devotees is that Lord Krishna, the deity of this Temple, after enjoying the Ushapayasam would proceed to\u00a0Ambalapuzha Temple\u00a0by noon to enjoy the Payasam there and then proceeds to\u00a0Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple<\/strong> at Trivandrum\u00a0to enjoy the dinner (Athazham). Finally, the Lord returns to\u00a0Thiruvarpu\u00a0the next day early morning 2-00 AM for Ushapayasam. Hence, it is the only Temple which Opens as early as 2-00 AM every day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another interesting feature of this temple is that the temple priest is given the keys along with an AXE to open the door in the early hours. The aim is to break open the door with an axe if there is any delay in opening the door with the key as the people believe that the deity cannot tolerate hunger.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chottanikara Bhagavathy Temple<\/h2>\r\n

Exorcise Demons & Evil Spirits.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kerala’s\u00a0Chottanikara Bhagavathy Temple<\/strong>\u00a0is not just a Hindu shrine of worship but a unique place of ‘exorcism’ and healing. The temple is famed for curing devotees with mental disorders and troubles caused to them by demons and evil spirits. As you walk around the temple, you will come across a huge Pala tree full of thick and long nails. And you know, these nails are said to be hammered by the patients themselves with their foreheads.\"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The mentally disturbed and afflicted are brought to the priest who interacts with them and asks them to surrender themselves to the goddess and they are also asked to drive iron nails into the trunk of the Pala tree until it has pierced deep into the trunk. The practice of hammering the nail into the tree indicates that the demon has been cast away and trapped within the tree and the person is free from their illness. Is this true? Well, this remained a mystery unsolved till date.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sri Anandapadmanabha Swami Temple or Ananthapura Lake Temple in Kasaragod<\/h2>\r\n

Guarded by a vegetarian crocodile, Babiya.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A temple in\u00a0Kerala\u00a0guarded by a crocodile, strange but true! This crocodile who is named\u00a0Babiya\u00a0was not a surprise visitor at\u00a0Sri Anandapadmanabha Swami Temple\u00a0<\/strong>but has been the official resident of the temple pond for the past 75 years.\u00a0 But sad to say, the\u00a0crocodile\u00a0Babiya of Ananthapura Lake Temple which attracted several devotees and visitors for over seven decades was found dead in the lake few weeks back.\"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can we ever imagine a fiercely hardcore carnivorous animal embracing only vegan food??? We cannot! But this mystic crocodile of Kerala was a \u2018Vegetarian\u2019 who ate only the prasadam (temple offerings) that are fed to her by the temple priest twice a day. Yes, seriously!! Though there are a lot of fish and turtles in the temple pond, Babiya had never consumed them. Also, had never attacked any human. Hence, the temple authorities considered Babiya as a \u2018divine crocodile’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How the crocodile came to the temple pond and who named it is still a hidden mystery. The devotees believed it was a godly miracle and also believed that Babiya was a messenger of Lord Padmanabhan himself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The 9th-century-old\u00a0Sri Anandapadmanabha Swami Temple\u00a0or the Ananthapura Lake Temple<\/strong> is situated in the\u00a0Kasaragod district of Kerala.\u00a0It is the\u00a0only lake temple in Kerala\u00a0and is considered the moolasthanam, the original abode of\u00a0Lord Anandapadmanabha, the deity of\u00a0Sri Padmanabha Swami Temple, Thiruvananthapuram<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Recently, for the first time in recorded history\u00a0Babiya, the crocodile entered the temple premises and spend some time there and went back after the chief priest asked her to go to its permanent habitat – the temple pond. The photographs of the crocodile at the temple premise went viral on social media and were shared by many people and they believe that it was a miracle by God.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum<\/h2>\r\n

The Mother of All Mysteries<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here comes the\u00a0most mysterious temple in the world! The famous\u00a0Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple<\/strong>\u00a0in Thiruvananthapuram<\/a> can get as mysterious as possible. This is the world’s richest temple which shot to fame in 2011 when five secret cellars among the six huge secret cellars (namely Vault A, B, C, D, E, F) of the temple were opened after being sealed for decades. What was revealed from these secrets cellars would render anyone speechless – sacks full of antique gold coins, diamonds, antique gold ornaments, a gold idol of Lord Maha Vishnu, golden crowns, golden utensils, golden elephants, weapons, idols, and gemstones which are supposed to estimate a total over 1 trillion dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Vault B\u00a0which is not yet opened is where all the mysteries and secrets are hidden. According to the Trust members and other learned Astrologers of\u00a0India, the\u00a0secret Vault B\u00a0is considered highly mysterious, dangerous, and too risky to unveil. The secret Vault has steel doors with no latches or bolts and is believed to be guided by two enormous cobras.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Many myths and superstitions surround\u00a0Vault B\u00a0that ancient saints have sealed the door by chanting the powerful Naga Pasam Mantra.<\/strong> Hence, it is believed that only a highly erudite \u2018sadhu\u2019 who is familiar with the knowledge of extricating \u2018Naga Pasam\u2019 by chanting a \u2018Garuda Mantra’<\/strong> can open the secret Vault and no human effort is needed. But what’s so perplexing is that you could find no one in the world who knows the ‘Garuda Mantra’. It is also believed that if any attempts are made with man-made technology to open the\u00a0mysterious Vault B\u00a0other than chanting the sacred ‘Garuda Mantra’, it may lead to major catastrophes or even the world might be in danger. Till today, no one knows what lies behind the closed doors of\u00a0Vault B\u00a0and is for sure one of the\u00a0unsolvable mysteries of the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kerala Temples\u00a0are much more than a place of worship; full of unexplained secrets and unsolved mysteries, it creates an extraordinary world far beyond our imaginations! Visit the\u00a0mysterious temples in Kerala and discover the breathtaking secrets behind them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
