MOTHER RAJARAJESWARI OF CHOTTANIKARA

It is believed that the abhisheka water flowing underground joins the thritha of the Onakkur Bhagawathi another powerful Goddess, situated off at about a furlong and a half, percolating underneath the loose soil of the alter, reaches the Sannidhi of Bhagawati to heighten her powers, when the possessed worship her. Scanning them from head to foot, she bids them to go to Dharma Sasta shrine, situated on the north-east side of the temple, if it is a mischievous minor spirit for sure; or directs them to worship at Kizhakavu Bhadrakali shrine giving out side the main temple, if it is of sterner stuff, and reserves for herself the perverse and deadly spirits harassing the victims for long and subjecting them to untold sufferings.

During the course of exorcising, there develops awful altercation between the MOTHER and the possessing spirit. At times if at all any naughty wicked spirit refuses to leave her victim showing stubbornness saying "No, No I will not go", MOTHER roars", "Go you must, and be gone anon!" That earsplitting shout slits the heart of the spirit and it goes at once and for ever.
