Chakkulathukavu Temple, Hindu temple in Neerattupuram, India

The Chakkulathukavu Temple stands near the confluence of Pamba and Manimala rivers in the Alappuzha district of Kerala.

This temple, established over 3000 years ago, transformed from a small family shrine into a major religious center through renovations in recent decades.

The temple hosts the Pongala festival during November-December, where women prepare rice offerings in earthen pots using fire from the sanctum.

Visitors can reach the temple via Thiruvalla Railway Station, located 9 kilometers away, with regular bus services operating every 7 minutes.

On Fridays, women bring their husbands affected by substance dependencies to touch the sacred sword of Goddess Durga for rehabilitation.
