Kalarivathukkal Bhagavathy Temple, Hindu temple in Kannur district, Kerala, India.

The Kalarivathukkal Bhagavathy Temple stands near the Valapattanam River, featuring shrines dedicated to Bhadrakali, Shiva, Sapta Mathrukkal, Ganapathy, and Veerabhadra within its Kerala-style architecture.

The temple originated as the family shrine of the Chirakkal Royal Family, who relocated their capital from Ezhimala to Chirakkal along the Valapattanam River.

The temple serves as the spiritual center for Kalarippayattu practitioners, with its name derived from 'Kalari Vaatilkal' reflecting its connection to this martial art form.

The temple conducts three daily ceremonies: Usha Pooja in the morning, Pantheeradi Pooja at noon, and Shakti Pooja in the evening, with various offering options for devotees.

The main deity is crafted from Kadu Sharkara material, while priests perform rituals using a separate archana bimbham of Devi for ceremonial purposes.
