Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple

Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple is one of Alappuzha town's best-known places of worship and a convenient cultural stop for visitors exploring the canals, markets and historic centre. Kerala Tourism also refers to the shrine as Mullakkal Bhagavathi Temple. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess and is closely associated with the long-running Mullakkal Chirappu celebrations, a major religious season in Alappuzha that brings special rituals, decorations and a lively flow of devotees to the area.

Its location within the town makes it different from many rural pilgrimage sites: the temple is part of Alappuzha's everyday urban rhythm and can be visited alongside nearby museums, waterways and commercial streets. Travellers should dress respectfully and follow local temple rules, as access and ritual practices may vary. Beyond its devotional role, Mullakkal offers visitors a useful glimpse into the living religious traditions that remain central to the identity of Alappuzha, Kerala.
