This temple is co-related to Moothedathu Devi Temple, Vaikom. The story behind the co-relation is that the he GrandFather of Gowri Kuttapan (eldest member Kalloorath family) was a staunch believer of Moothedathu Devi. He was also the velichappadu of Moothedathu Devi Temple. The following generation did not take the position of Velichapaadu, so after the Grandfather's death, Gowri Kuttapan inherited his sword. After her marriage with Kuttapan, Gowri settled at Kattappana. During this period Gowri Kuttapan used to light a lamp to venerate the Sword. They faced problems such as disease and poverty. Late Kuttapan conducted a Devaprasanam (astrological verification). In Devaprasanam the presence of Devi was visualised, and Devi needed shelter outside the house. So in the early 20th century, Late Kuttapan built a small building, but wished to build a proper temple. In 1989, the Kalloorath family, headed by K.K. Thankapan, built a new temple. The temple was poorly constructed, and the family sponsored a replacement, which was incomplete as of 2011. Family members involved the public in administering the temple, selecting 51 neighbours as the governing body. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Putheyakavil Devi Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
