Karikkakom Devi Temple, Hindu temple in Thiruvananthapuram district, India.

Karikkakom Devi Temple has a lower pavilion with an orange-tiled roof and a tall tiered tower whose base is covered in pale sculpted figures, with three golden animals at its front edge. Below the tower, a dark carved wooden facade stands above a stepped stone edge and a blue-painted basin wall. Inside, the main sanctum holds a Panchaloha idol of Karikkakathamma, with the Raktha Chamundi shrine to its right.

Karikkakom Devi Temple is over 600 years old. Under the Maharajas, accused persons were brought to the Raktha Chamundi nada, where they placed 21 panam and swore to tell the truth; the Devi was believed to protect the truthful and punish liars. The nada was opened only for this oath ritual.

The annual festival falls in the Malayalam month of Meenam and runs seven days; the day before Pongala, the Devi's idol is carried around the temple on a golden chariot. On Pongala day women cook rice with jaggery, ghee and coconut in small pots in the open. On Ayilyam days devotees also offer milk and flowers to the serpent gods of the nagar kavu outside the wall.

The temple lies about 7 km north of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple at Karikkakom. The nearest railway station is Kochuveli and the nearest airport is Thiruvananthapuram International. From Kazhakoottam junction, take the straight road via World Market junction, then turn right through Vazhavila; from M.C. Road come via Kesavadaspuram, Palayam, Peta and the Chakka bypass.

The Raktha Chamundi sanctum has no idol: a wall painting of the goddess in a fierce aspect stands in its place, and its door opens only for the oath ritual. Accused persons paid 21 panam there and swore to tell the truth, a practice kept from the reign of the Maharajas.
