Mangaladevi Temple In Thekkady

Mangaladevi Temple in Thekkady is a 1000 years old temple which is located in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. This temple is located at a distance of 15 kilometers from Thekkady. Mangaladevi Temple is situated at an altitude of about 1300 metres above the sea level.

There is a very interesting phenomenon behind the Mangaladevi Temple in Thekkady. It is believed that Kannagi, who was the wife of Kovalan, killed her husband, as an act of revenge. Later, she set the city of Madurai on fire. Then, she went to heaven with his husband in a Pushpak Vimaan. An ancient Tamil king known as Chera Chenguttuvan, who was very inspired with this story, built the temple of Mangaladevi.

Mangaladevi Temple is located in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, on the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As a result, traditions of both the states can been seen clearly during the ‘pooja’ in this temple. This makes it even more pious. This temple is in a very dilapidated state.

Mangaladevi Temple opens only during the Chitra Poornima Day. For the rest of the year, this temple remains closed. Even then, many tourists and pilgrims throng to this temple just to get a glimpse of it.

During the Chitra Poornima annual festival at this temple, the temple and the neighboring towns see a heavy footfall of tourists.<readmore> The idol of the deity is decorated with flowers. Also, traditional pooja is performed by the priests. There is a huge rush of the tourists and pilgrims at the temple during the annual Chitra Poornima festival.

As an initiative to protect the ecosystem of the Wildlife Sanctuary, the forest department has made it compulsory for all the people visiting this temple to get a permission letter from the Wildlife Warden.

    Experience was just incredible. I sent my parents to Kerala on their retirement age. I was really concerned about whether they will be able to handle it all alone. So, chosen to book a package from an organization who really felt my concern and kept on enquiring about the journey during the journey
    as well. Bookings/ Travel/ Cab/ Driver behavior was more than what was promised. It was not my first travel with Travel triangle. I had travelled abroad 2 times with them before. Happy!!

    Vishal's 3 days trip to Thekkady

    Boat stay was great, but have to pay extra when we need AC few hours earlier. We went somewhat late but we still had lot of time to boat in the backwaters but crew didn't do. When it comes to places to see, we have to pay extra 4k to go for offroading in Munnar which is very high (This cost has
    to be informed to the customer priorly) so that we can plan a different place instead of going there. Overall, Munnar at wood resort stay was great! Boat stay room was too conjusted and AC is limited hours but food was great! Few travel agencies are providing drop location on the last day wherever you need, that has to be added as well. Thank you.
