==Etymology==
The temple is addressed as ''Thiruvarkkadu Bhagavathy'', ''Thiruvar''-in proto-Tamil-Manipravalam is used to address Shiva of the shrine, i.e. The most respectable one. The temple architecture of some shrines in the region shows how the Goddess is perceived in the region. The temples such as Annapoorneshwari temple and Madayikkavu has strong Brahminic influence. The Brahmin women in ancient time, were not allowed to show their faces in the sit-out, they were mostly inside their home and was addressed as ''Andarjanam'' by Kerala Brahmins. The Goddess is considered as ''Brahmin Mother'' and hence do not face the temple entrance gate, her sanctum is inside the shrine; the sanctum that we can see while entering from the front entrance is of Shiva(Also due to the tantric temple architecture ''Rurujith Vidhanam'') and in Annapoorneshwari Temple it is Krishna's shrine in the front entrance. So the temple is known by the name of Shiva rather than the Goddess. ''Tiruvarkaadu'' means ''The forest of the Lord''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://shakteyam.blogspot.in/p/badra-kali.html )〕 Oh God.
