Valayanad Devi Temple: The Zamorin’s Sacred Seat of Shakti in Kozhikode

More than a local place of worship, Valayanad Devi Temple preserves memories of the long rivalry between the Zamorin of Kozhikode and the Valluvakonathiri, the ruler of Valluvanad. Its origin legend connects the shrine with Thirumandhamkunnu Bhagavathy, the tutelary goddess of the Valluvanad rulers, and with the centuries-long contest for political authority over central and northern Kerala.

These include Valluvakonathiri, Valluvakkonathiri, Vellattiri, Vellatiri, Velatra, Velnatera, Arangottu Udayavar and Vallabha Raja. British-era treaties and administrative documents frequently referred to the territory as the kingdom of Vellattiri and used Vallabha Raja as a formal designation for its ruler.
