Origin
In earlier days priests worshiped 'Bhadrakali'. They sacrificed animals to please the Devi. At that time this was
a common thing. One day Sree Narayana Guru came there. He raised his voice against this brutal and ancient act and stopped the
animal sacrifice at the temple. Here Guru made a new Prathista after the famous Aruvippuram Prathista. Later Guru advised the
Chief priest of the temple to worship Devi as 'Sree Parvathy'.Guru also wrote a poem,which hails the Devi, Known as
"Mannanthala Devi Stavam".From that day onwards Devi has been worshiped as 'Sree Parvathy'.
