Thrikkavu Temple, Hindu temple in Malappuram district, India.

Thrikkavu Sri Durga Bhagavathy Temple stands in Ponnani, Malappuram district. The main deity is a four-armed Durga holding a disc, conch, a boon-conferring hand and an arm resting on the hip, facing east. The complex also holds a Krishna shrine and smaller shrines for Mahaganapathi, Sasthavu, Sidhi Vinayakan, Hanuman and Brahma Rakshass, plus a Moola Ganapathy shrine near the temple pond with Naga Raja, Naga Yakshi and Naga images.

The temple was rebuilt after Tipu Sultan converted it into an ammunition storage facility and destroyed the original idol during military operations. This reconstruction allowed the site to restore its religious purpose and serve the community once again.

This shrine holds deep meaning for local families during Navarathri, when children gather for Vidyarambham, a ceremony marking their entry into learning. The event brings the community together in celebration of education and growth.

The temple opens twice daily: mornings from 9:30 to 1:30 PM and evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Visitors should plan their visit around these hours to ensure they can enter the shrine.

The name Thrikkavu is believed to come from Thrikkani Kaadu. The main deity is worshipped in three forms: as Parvati, Lakshmi and Saraswati. The temple is counted among the 108 Durga temples said to have been consecrated by Parasurama.
