VARAKKAL DEVI TEMPLE

Located on the West Hill, Varakkal Devi Temple is a pilgrimage for the devout. The temple was also the centre of art and culture many centuries ago. Surrounded by a peaceful, calm atmosphere, this temple is a favourite pilgrim spot for many tourists.  Devi Durga is the temple’s deity and it is believed by many that it is the last temple built by Lord Parasurama.
