The sacred and ancient abode of “Chamundeswari “ at  Ellipode village is existing since last 400 years.

The beginning was from a “Thekkini” a room at south portion. The poojas and rituals where systematically performed as per Temple rites with great devotion by maintaining the sanctity for decades resulting increase spiritual brightness and consciousness.

Centuries ago a “Yogi Varyan”  being the eldest member of the family worshiped Shri.Chamundeswari from the southern part by esteemed Seva and Devotion.  Devi pleased and blessed him and agreed to accompany to Elipode to have her presence in the family. Accordingly the Yogi  installed Shri.Chamundeswari at Kavuvilakam as family deity by arranging a separate room called as Thekkini. Also the other family Devadas i.e; Manthramurthi, Yakshi Amma, Madan Thamburan where placed along with. The poojas and rituals were conducted and maintained constantly and regularly.

It is believed as per Aithihya.

The Bhavas, strength and involvement of Aadi Parashakthi  is great and can never be considered as small. The incarnation of Chamunda Devi (Chamunda) was mainly for the devastation of the powerful Asuras – Chandan & Mundan. Puranas proclaims that the manifestation of Chamunda (Kalikka) was formed from the specific power came out from the eyebrows of Goddess Devi Durga. It may be seen that parashakthi has manifested in various  Bhavas so as to protect evils and re-establish tranquility and peace amongst the creatures.
