MOTHER RAJARAJESWARI OF CHOTTANIKARA

 

The compassionate MOTHER rushing to the spot grabbed the running yakshi and cutting her into two pieces threw them into the temple tank. The water at once turned red, and still it is retaining that colour. It is called Raktakulam. Needless to prolong, the Nambudri was saved and this event when reached far and wide brought thousands of the possessed victims to the MOTHER'S temple for cure.

And every case was a success and hence the fame spread to the four corners that Rajarajeswari Mata is peerless among the goddesses with-similar powers towarding off evil spirits and her compassion is matchless. Thousands and thousands of devotees visit this place either for cure, or to offer prayers after relief, in token of gratitude. 

The number of the haunted, mentally afflicted, possessed etc. is a legion. It is indeed a sight to see on Fridays during the noon pooja, when the whole temple reverberates with the sounds of Amme Narayana and Devi Narayana' shouted at the highest pitch by the afflicted persons. The beating of drums and clanging of bells during the dialogue between the divine power and the evil powers and the horrors following the eviction of spirits are to be seen and believed than to be recounted and described.
