MOTHER RAJARAJESWARI OF CHOTTANIKARA

 

ANTIQUITY

The exact period of construction of the shrines and its traditions are recorded elaborately in the Sthalapurana, and a casual reading convinces one to the infinitude of MOTHER'S powers. Though this temple does not claim heavenly connections, it has fantastic links with the devil spirits. And the number of beneficiaries it has on its list stuns the listeners. 

As this august deity wiped out the hot tears of thousands and thousands of the possessed, she is thought of, and sought after, whenever trouble arises from the invisible evil forces. And visitation is advocated by one and all for sure cure. No victim ever returned home hope-lost, nor the possessing devil ever returned to its victims, if once it is seen by the fierce look of the MOTHER.

The origin of this temple is quite queer and imbued with mystery. This deity strangely enough emerged with the Abhayahastam and emancipated a seasoned bandit first, who knew robbing most and extorting best.
